Need to extract text only for parent file.

[Shiv Kenche <sh...@servient.com>]

Hi,

I have a Parent doc file with many attachments(children) into it. I need to
extract text content of Parent doc file but do not need text extract of its
children.

I have used AutoDetectParser.parse(inputStream, BodyContentHandler,
metadata, ParseContext) method to extract text for Parent file. But the
text extract has text of its children too, I do not want this.

Has anyone done this before? If yes could you please provide me the code
snippet?

Regards,
Shiv

Thanks Nick.

I had set AutoDetectParser in the ParseContext and that was causing text
extraction of embedded objects recursively. Once I removed this I got text
extract of just the parent file.

Regards,
Shiv

Tika does not recurse into embedded documents by default. To enable 
recursion, you need to set a Parser object onto the ParseContext, to be 
used to handle the child objects. Without one, Tika will process the outer 
(parent) document only
