Hi John-
Beg pardon, I should have mentioned earlier that since docsplit plants a
.txt file in the target pdf's
directory on its own, with no other output, I had gone the route you
suggested, but to no avail, i.e.,
"docsplit text --no-clean -l path" run-process drop
In the terminal, cd /path/to/1_long_gu ; docsplit text --no-clean -l
chi_sim long_gu001.pdf
works fine. The surprise is that, in the listener, the phrase:
"cd /path/to/1_long_gu ; docsplit text --no-clean -l chi_sim
long_gu001.pdf" run-process .
- returns with status 0, but leaves no file. Ditto using /full/path/to/docsplit
in the command.
The docsplit bin alias (/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin/docsplit) resolves
to /usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.1.0/bin/docsplit
(installed w/ homebrew). There I find this ruby script:
require 'rubygems'
version = ">= 0"
if ARGV.first
str = ARGV.first
str = str.dup.force_encoding("BINARY") if str.respond_to? :force_encoding
if str =~ /\A_(.*)_\z/
version = $1
ARGV.shift
end
end
gem 'docsplit', version
load Gem.bin_path('docsplit', 'docsplit', version)
If I manage to decipher this, I'll try to translate it in Factor, and
invoke docsplit that way.
That should keep me busy for a while. Worth a try, though I know zip about
ruby. Once past
this boondoggle, I already have Factor code that walks the tree & collates
the files.
Thanks!
