Nick Burch commented on TIKA-3742: ---------------------------------- If it can just be run standalone and then {{ExternalParser}} + {{tika-external-parsers.xml}} is probably the way to go - that already handles testing if the program is installed, spawning it, cleaning up, grabbing text etc > Advice around DGN7 parser and whether to add to TIKA > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-3742 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3742 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Task > Components: parser > Reporter: Dan Coldrick > Priority: Minor > Attachments: DGN.zip, ExampleOutput.txt > > > Hi [~tallison] & Whoever else. > I managed to compile the C/C++ library [http://dgnlib.maptools.org/] for > DGN7 which produces an dgndump.exe which will dump all the data from the DGN. > From my initial testing it looks pretty good. > Would you guys think it was worth adding this or just keep it as a custom > parser rather than in the main source code? It's under MIT license. I've > attached the exe (zipped), a copy of the output from the dump and my very > dirty testing calling the exe (my code I was only interested in the Strings > so am only pulling those into a string array at the moment to check it's > pulling out the correct data). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.7#820007)
