Hello, I want to extract .txt from a pdf-file using Livecode 9.5 on macOS Catalina.
Therefore I installed from http://www.xpdfreader.com/ the xpdf-tools-mac-4.02 and using the Terminal with „pdftotext /Users/hillen/Desktop/inter.pdf“ I get a clean text-file inter.txt. Wonderful! So I hopefully wrote in Livecode: —————— put "/users/hillen/Desktop/inter.pdf" into fn put "pdftotext " & fn into Kommando if there is not a file fn then answer „no SourceFile!" exit to top end if get shell(quote & Kommando & quote) answer it & return & the result —————— But extracting doesn´t work and I get the answer: /bin/sh: line 1: pdftotext /users ……pdf: No such file or directory and the result ist 127. Typing to Terminal „pdftotext“ I get a List with command-options. With get shell(„pdftotext“) with and without quotes I get the answer „/bin/sh: line 1: pdftotext: command not found“ What is wrong? May you please help? Richard. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
