Tika stand alone CLI --text output mostly not working, other output formats are
fine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-179
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-179
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cli
Affects Versions: 0.2, 0.3
Environment: Java 1.5 (also tried Java 1.6). OS used: Mac OS X, Linux
(CentOS)
Reporter: Paul Borgermans
When using Tika standalone jar after mvn install in CLI mode, in most of my
test documents (pdf, doc, ppt, odt, ), the plain text output option (-t or
--text) does not produce any result. When using the other options (xml, html,
metadata), the output is correct. Activating debug mode (-v) does not produce
additional info either.
When using the GUI, dragging and dropping does produce the expected results,
also in the plain text tab/window
I rebuilt tika many times in the past 2 months (cleared .m2 directory every
time) from svn (latest revision tried: 724002), the CLI --text result is
always the same: usually missing output.
For now, I use the -x output option chained to html2txt as a workaround, but
would prefer to use just tika to convert to plain text (which is used for
further indexing in Solr).
Thanks
