text-extraction

I have to extract certain text from an XML file via a batch file. One of the parts I need to extract is between string tags ( <string>example1</string> ) and the other is between data tags ( <data>example2</data> ). Any ideas how? Thanks in advance! @echo OFF del output.txt for /f "delims=" %%i in ('findstr /i /c:"<string>" xml_file.xml') do call :job "%%i" goto :eof :job set line=%1 set line=%line:/=% set line=%line:<=+% set line=%line:>=+% set line=%line:*+string+=% set line=%line:+=&rem.% echo.%line%>>output.txt :eof Output with OP's input file- D:\>draft.bat D:\>type output.txt 000000000

I'm currently trying to automatically extract important keywords from a PDF file. I am able to get the text information out of the PDF document. But now I need to know, which font size and font family these keywords have. The following code I already have: Main public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { String src = "SEM_081145.pdf"; PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(src); SemTextExtractionStrategy semTextExtractionStrategy = new SemTextExtractionStrategy(); PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(src + ".txt")); Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(70, 80, 490, 580);

I have a pdf file that as the follow security properties: printing: allowed; document assembly: NOT allowed; content copy: allowed; content copy for accessibility: allowed; page extraction:NOT allowed; I try to get text with sample code as documentation sample as follow: pdftext.Text = null; StringBuilder text = new StringBuilder(); PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(filename); for (int page = 1; page <= pdfReader.NumberOfPages; page++) { ITextExtractionStrategy strategy = new SimpleTextExtractionStrategy(); string currentText = PdfTextExtractor.GetTextFromPage(pdfReader, page, strategy);

I am looking at getting the plain text from html. Which one should I choose, php strip_tags or simplehtmldom plaintext extraction? One pro for simplehtmldom is support of invalid html, is that sufficient in itself? You should probably use smiplehtmldom for the reason you mentioned and that strip_tags may also leave you non-text elements like javascript or css contained within script/style blocks You would also be able to filter text from elements that aren't displayed (inline style=display:none) That said, if the html is simple enough, then strip_tags may be faster and will accomplish the same

I am crawling news websites and want to extract News Title, News Abstract (First Paragraph), etc I plugged into the webkit parser code to easily navigate webpage as a tree. To eliminate navigation and other non news content I take the text version of the article (minus the html tags, webkit provides api for the same). Then I run the diff algorithm comparing various article's text from same website this results in similar text being eliminated. This gives me content minus the common navigation content etc. Despite the above approach I am still getting quite some junk in my final text. This

Is there a good library for extracting text from a PDF? I'm willing to pay for it if I have to. Something that works with C# or classic ASP (VBScript) would be ideal and I also need to be able to separate the pages from the PDF. This question had some interesting stuff, especially pdftotext but I'd like to avoid calling to an external command-line app if I can. You can use the IFilter interface built into Windows to extract text and properties (author, title, etc.) from any supported file type. It's a COM interface so you would have use the .NET interop facilities. You'd also have to download
