[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-1363) .mat files not parsing

["Ken Krugler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1363?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14054966#comment-14054966 ] 

Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-1363:
-----------------------------------

For issues like these (where it could be a problem with your environment, etc) it's best to first post to the mailing list, and then (after researching the issue) if it really looks like a bug, you can create a Jira issue. Also you'll get more visibility and likely better response from the mailing list.

Having said that, I tried it myself, and I do get (minimal) metadata - the Content-Type is application/x-matlab-data, but there's no text.

> We recently committed a parser for Matlab .mat files, however I've just downloaded the most recent Tika and am not getting any parsed --text or --metadata for the .mat file used in the unit test.  The steps I've used are below.  Am I missing something at the command line?  Can anyone else successfully get a text or metadata output for a .mat file?
> Steps: 
> svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tika/trunk tika
> setenv MAVEN_OPTS "-Xms128m -Xmx256m"
> cd tika
> mvn install
> java -jar tika-app/target/tika-app-1.6-SNAPSHOT.jar --text /Users/IGSWAHWSWBURGESS/Development/tika/tika-parsers/src/test/resources/test-documents/breidamerkurjokull_radar_profiles_2009.mat
