Greetings,


is there a build in function which enables us to do a full text search in pdf/word/text files?



Thanks
Sascha

Hi Sascha

no...

you have to :
- extract the text from the external document
- put them in a text memo field on which you have a full text option set - OR - managed them yourselve word by word in indexes, if you want more option
- and of course point back to the external files in your index

Best regards

HI Fabrice,

Thanks for the hint! I know for PDF files there is Extract function, but how would I do that for word or a text document? is there something similar available?


Thanks,
Sascha

Hi Sascha

for word documents, you can either use OLE automation (word needs to be installed), or an external tool like gembox .net to save as text, and then process the resulting text

Best regards
