[jira] Created: (TIKA-179) Tika stand alone CLI --text output
mostly not working, other output formats are fine
Tika stand alone CLI --text output mostly not working, other output formats are fine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-179
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-179
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: cli
Affects Versions: 0.2, 0.3
Environment: Java 1.5 (also tried Java 1.6). OS used: Mac OS X, Linux (CentOS)
Reporter: Paul Borgermans
When using Tika standalone jar after mvn install in CLI mode, in most of my test documents (pdf, doc, ppt, odt, ), the plain text output option (-t or --text) does not produce any result. When using the other options (xml, html, metadata), the output is correct. Activating debug mode (-v) does not produce additional info either.
When using the GUI, dragging and dropping does produce the expected results, also in the plain text tab/window
I rebuilt tika many times in the past 2 months (cleared .m2 directory every time) from svn (latest revision tried: 724002), the CLI --text result is always the same: usually missing output.
For now, I use the -x output option chained to html2txt as a workaround, but would prefer to use just tika to convert to plain text (which is used for further indexing in Solr).
Thanks

Michael McCandless commented on TIKA-179:
-----------------------------------------
I'm still seeing this issue on the 0.3 RC1. I'm on Debian Linux, and when I run a trivial PDF doc, like this:
{code}
cat PDF.pdf | java -cp target/tika-0.3-standalone.jar org.apache.tika.cli.TikaCLI --text
{code}
I get no output...
But if I leave off the --text, I do get output. Same with --html, --xml and --metadata. My CLASSPATH is otherwise empty. Not sure what's going on...

-----------------------------------------
OK, phew, just user error. Sorry for the noise.
Though, it's odd that without any args, it works. Oh I see, the code simply falls back to "-" when there are no args.
I agree this can wait until 0.4. Thanks!

You're not running the command correctly.

------------------------------------
Yeah, you're right! The --text option only seems to work on large documents and even then the tail end of the text gets clipped. Looks very much like a buffering issue.

------------------------------------
Also, even the following works (as documented in --help):
cat PDF.pdf | java -cp target/tika-0.3-standalone.jar org.apache.tika.cli.TikaCLI --text -
Let's file an improvement request to make the pipe mode work also without the "-".

------------------------------------
Well, it should work also when the input is piped. I was able to reproduce this, the --text option works when the input is given as a file argument, but not when it's piped.
