Text Extraction Command Line

Description

VeryUtils Text Extraction Command Line utility allows to extract text from the various types of files. The extracted text can be combined into one file or/and split into few files. The converted text files can be reused for index or any other purposes easily. The Text Extraction Command Line utility handles various command line parameters to be able to extract text from files. The command line options use the syntax "all2text.exe [options ...]", all parameters must be separated by a space. Options can appear in any order on the command line so long as they are paired with their related parameters. Use the "all2text.exe -?" command line to get help on the command line syntax and parameters.

Supported formats for input files:

AZW, AZW3, CHM, DjVu, DOC, DOCX, EML, EPUB, FB2, FB3, HTML, LIT, MD, MHT, MOBI, ODP, ODS, ODT, PDB, PDF, PPT, PPTX, PRC, RTF, TCR, TXT, WPD, WRI, XLS, XLSX. The IFilter interface will be used for files with unknown extensions.
