text-extraction

I would like to extract text from a portion (using coordinates) of PDF using Ghostscript. Can anyone help me out? Kurt Pfeifle Yes, with Ghostscript, you can extract text from PDFs. But no, it is not the best tool for the job. And no, you cannot do it in "portions" (parts of single pages). What you can do: extract the text of a certain range of pages only. First: Ghostscript's txtwrite output device (not so good) gs \ -dBATCH \ -dNOPAUSE \ -sDEVICE=txtwrite \ -dFirstPage=3 \ -dLastPage=5 \ -sOutputFile=- \ /path/to/your/pdf This will output all text contained on pages 3-5 to stdout. If you

I have a URL and I need to get the value of v from this URL. Here is my URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RCIP6OrQrE Any useful and fruitful help is highly appreciated.. I think the one of the easiest ways out would be to parse the string returned by URL.getQuery() as public static Map<String, String> getQueryMap(String query) { String[] params = query.split("&"); Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>(); for (String param : params) { String name = param.split("=")[0]; String value = param.split("=")[1]; map.put(name, value); } return map; } You can use the map returned by

I have a file that looks something like this: <table name="content_analyzer" primary-key="id"> <type="global" /> </table> <table name="content_analyzer2" primary-key="id"> <type="global" /> </table> <table name="content_analyzer_items" primary-key="id"> <type="global" /> </table> I need to extract anything within the quotes that follow name= , i.e., content_analyzer , content_analyzer2 and content_analyzer_items . I am doing this on a Linux box, so a solution using sed, perl, grep or bash is fine. Since you need to match content without including it in the result (must match name=" but it's

I was trying to extract a text(string) from MS Word (.doc, .docx), Excel and Powerpoint using C#. Where can i find a free and simple .Net library to read MS Office documents? I tried to use NPOI but i didn't get a sample about how to use NPOI. Using PInvokes you can use the IFilter interface (on Windows). The IFilters for many common file types are installed with Windows (you can browse them using this tool. You can just ask the IFilter to return you the text from the file. There are several sets of example code ( here is one such example). For Microsoft Word 2007 and Microsoft Word 2010 (

I would like to extract from a general HTML page, all the text (displayed or not). I would like to remove any HTML tags Any javascript Any CSS styles Is there a regular expression (one or more) that will achieve that? You can't really parse HTML with regular expressions. It's too complex. RE's won't handle <![CDATA[ sections correctly at all. Further, some kinds of common HTML things like <text> will work in a browser as proper text, but might baffle a naive RE. You'll be happier and more successful with a proper HTML parser. Python folks often use something Beautiful Soup to parse HTML and
