TextSearch (Content plugin for fulltext search in DOC)

[nsp]

First I'm new to Total Commander;-), but I don't get this plugin to work.
I've created a new subfolder XDOC (like PDF and ODF given by the plugin) and extracted the xdoc2txt.exe (v1.26).
Then I've updated the TextSearch.ini with the text from above, but when I search ~300 .html files I didn't get any match.

I use such definition with 1.26 version :

Code: Select all

XDOC=%COMSPEC% /C CONV\XDOC\XDOC2TXT.EXE -n -o=0 -c "{In}">"{Out}" 

it seems to work for me !

Maybe you extracted "xdoc2txt.exe" not to the Conv folder of plugin folder?
It works here OK.


BTW, I may include "xdoc2txt.exe" into TextSearch archive, if author give me such permission. I wrote him, no reply.

Code: Select all

XDOC=%COMSPEC% /C CONV\XDOC\XDOC2TXT.EXE -n -o=0 -c "{In}">"{Out}" 

it seems to work for me !

Hmmm, same result as before... nothing... ;-(

Edit: Ah... my mistake... not .html files but .htm... *damn*
Everything is working fine now. Thanks...

It works fine with TextSearch if TextSearch.ini contains this lines:

; xdoc2txt
XDOC=%COMSPEC% /CCONV\XDOC\XDOC2TXT.EXE "{In}">"{Out}"
docx=XDOC
docm=XDOC
xlsx=XDOC
xlsm=XDOC
pptx=XDOC
pptm=XDOC
doc=XDOC
xls=XDOC
ppt=XDOC
pdf=XDOC
html=XDOC

Why I can only search .Doc files, can't search .XLS and .PPT files?

[Dreamer]

I know why.

Xdoc2txt can convert .doc file in Chinese to txt perfectly.

But it can't convert .xls and .ppt files's Chinese characters.

Alex, could you add option to search for ANSI / UTF text in binary files?

it's done. I have option for encoding of *any file: see Readme...

I missed it, thanks.

I'm currently doing a search for some text in a large collection of PDFs.
xdoc2txt crashed twice.

Suggestion: can you detect such situation and give some hint about a file on which it happened?
I'd like to submit a but to xdoc2txt devs, but binsearch through the pdfs would take long...

[Alextp]

i can detect, that converter still gives no out file.
Then i can show errorbox.

[m^2]

That would be nice.
EDIT:
..or maybe not. With incorrect files this could give a lot of unnecessary messages.
How about checking return codes?

[Alextp]

for crashed app you'll have no return code..

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683189.aspx :

If the process has terminated and the function succeeds, the status returned is one of the following values:

* The exit value specified in the ExitProcess or TerminateProcess function.
* The return value from the main or WinMain function of the process.
* The exception value for an unhandled exception that caused the process to terminate.

2m^2 thanks, I'll see it.
Have you sample of calling it, after calling CreateProcess?
