Giuseppe Totaro commented on TIKA-1483:
---------------------------------------

Thanks [~lfcnassif]. I will check it.

By the way, I would ask you:

* Applying your patch on my OS X system, I got this error:
{code}
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** malformed patch at line 386: 

{code}
I solved that by removing all "carriage return" characters in the patch.
* Why did you put your code in {{b/tika-parsers}} path?
(I apologize if I say anything I don't mean)

Thanks a lot,
Giuseppe

> I think it can be very useful adding a general parser able to extract raw 
> strings from files (like the strings command), which can be used as the 
> fallback parser for all mimetypes not having a specific parser 
> implementation, like application/octet-stream. It can also be used as a 
> fallback for corrupt files throwing a TikaException.
> It must be configured with the script/language to be extracted from the files 
> (currently I implemented one specific for Latin1).
> It can use heuristics to extract strings encoded with different charsets 
> within the same file, mainly the common ISO-8859-1, UTF8 and UTF16.
> What the community thinks about that?
