> I think it can be very useful adding a general parser able to extract raw strings from files (like the strings command), which can be used as the fallback parser for all mimetypes not having a specific parser implementation, like application/octet-stream. It can also be used as a fallback for corrupt files throwing a TikaException.
> It must be configured with the script/language to be extracted from the files (currently I implemented one specific for Latin1).
> It can use heuristics to extract strings encoded with different charsets within the same file, mainly the common ISO-8859-1, UTF8 and UTF16.
> What the community thinks about that?
