--------------------------------------

             Summary: OUTPUT_FILE_TOKEN not being replaced in ExternalParser
                 Key: TIKA-1620
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1620
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 1.8, 1.7
         Environment: Any.
            Reporter: Pascal Essiembre


According to class documentation, the  {{org.apache.tika.parser.external.ExternalParser}} class should replace the {{OUTPUT_FILE_TOKEN}} constant with an output file name when specified as a command argument.  It is currently not the case and the parser will fail to grab any output from processes generating output files.

In order to fix this, you should add one line to the following code in the parse method (starting on line 168):

{code:java}
if(cmd[i].indexOf(OUTPUT_FILE_TOKEN) != -1) {
    output = tmp.createTemporaryFile();
    outputFromStdOut = false;
    //START FIX:
    cmd[i] = cmd[i].replace(OUTPUT_FILE_TOKEN, output.getPath());
    //END FIX.
}
{code}
