# ExtractExport

This program demonstrates the File Extraction interface and basic functionality of the Export interface. The `HtmlTest` sample program demonstrates more advanced functionality of the Export interface. See XmlTest

The `ExtractExport` program demonstrates the following functionality:

- opens a document

- extracts subfiles from a document

- repeats subfile extraction until all subfiles are extracted

- sets conversion options through a template file

- converts the subfile (or subfiles) and main file to HTML or XML

- enables you to specify the command-line options listed in Options for the ExtractExport Sample Program

NOTE: This sample program demonstrates how to export from a `java.io.InputStream` object. However, OpenText recommends that you implement a `com.verity.api.SeekableInputStream` and pass this into KeyView instead. OpenText recommends this option because it allows KeyView to seek in the file, only reading the parts it needs to read. For more information, see Input/Output Operations.

To run ExtractExport

1. Add the location of the `javaapi\KeyView.jar` file, the `javaapi\sample` directory, and the Export `bin` directory to the `CLASSPATH` environment variable.

2. Run the program as follows:

       java -Djava.library.path=bin_directory ExtractExport [options] bin_directory inifile input_file output_file

   where:

   - `bin_directory` is the path to the Export `bin` directory.
   - `options` is one or more of the options listed in Options for the ExtractExport Sample Program.
   - `inifile` is the path and file name of a template file.
   - `input_file` is the path and file name of the source file.
   - `output_file` is the path and file name of the output file if the source file is not a container file.

Options for the ExtractExport Sample Program

Option | Description
--- | ---
`-extonly` | This option extracts the subfiles from a source file, but does not convert the files after extraction.
`-extdir` `directory` | This option sets the suggested directory to which the subfiles are extracted.

`-xml` | This option converts the files to XML. The default is HTML. To use this option, XML Export must be installed.
`-source-cs` `charset` | This option sets the character set of the source file. `charset` is a character set defined as a constant in the Export class. See Coded Character Sets.
`-target-cs` `charset` | This option sets the character set of the output file. `charset` is a character set defined as a constant in the Export class. See Coded Character Sets.
`-little-end` | This option sets the byte order for Unicode text to little endian.
`-is` | This option sets the input as a stream. The default is file.
`-os` | This option sets the output as a stream. The default is file.
`-open-user` `username` | This option specifies the user name used to open a protected PST or NSF file.
`-open-pass` `password` | This option specifies the password used to open a protected PST or NSF file.
`-open-idfile` `idfile` | This option specifies the user ID file used to open a protected PST or NSF file.
`-open-createroot` | This option creates a root directory on which a hierarchy can be based. See Create a Root Node.
`-ext-nodir` | This option specifies that the subfile directory structure is not created.
`-ext-noheader` | This option excludes mail header information from extracted message body text file. See Mail Metadata.
`-meta` `outfile` | This option extracts default mail metadata and writes it to a file.
`-oop` | This option converts the files in a separate process. See Convert Files Out of Process.
`-ip` | This option runs file extraction in the same process as the calling application (in process). See Convert Files Out of Process.
