filter_tutorial

The filter_tutorial sample program demonstrates how to use the File Extraction, Filter, and Metadata APIs together to get content from a file. Given an input file, it extracts text, optionally gets format information, extracts metadata, and extracts subfiles. It recursively processes each subfile that it extracts. It also provides options to use the APIs in file mode or stream mode.

  • configuration.h—contains macros that you must set before you build filter_tutorial.

  • filter_tutorial.c—contains the functions that directly interact with the Filter SDK. The top level function is filterTutorial().

  • main.c—contains the main function, which calls filterTutorial().

A filter_tutorial.exe is included in the File Content Extraction installation. You must run filter_tutorial.exe in the bin directory.

To get usage information and a list of options, run filter_tutorial without arguments.
