Michael McCandless commented on TIKA-782:
-----------------------------------------
That works for me: pre-patch we extract this binary content as if it were text;
post patch we extract nothing. I'll add a test case based on this and
commit....
Thanks Arjohn!
> Add support for parsing binary data in RTF files
> ------------------------------------------------

> Key: TIKA-782
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-782
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Arjohn Kampman
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Attachments: bin.patch, bin2.patch, bin3.patch, logo.zip

>
> The current RTF parser doesn't process \bin control words yet. These control
> words are followed by a specific amount of binary data. Because of this, the
> RTF parser trips over some of these bytes in a number of (classified)
> documents.
> I've implemented processing of the \bin control word, but it required of the
> core parsing algorithm. IMHO, it also improved readability of the code. I
> hope you will accept this patch. Please let me know if the patch requires
> modifications.
> Apart from the \bin code word, this patch also makes the parser stop after
> reading the document-closing '}' character. In a number of files (again,
> classified), the parser would include non-readable characters that appeared
> after this closing brace.
