Individual filters are installed as separate perl modules. For example, there might be a filter that converts from PDF format to HTML format. Note that this is just a framework for filtering documents. Additional helper programs or Perl module may need to be installed to use SWISH::Filter to filter documents. For example, to filter PDF documents you must install the Xpdf package. The filters are automatically loaded when Cnew()> is called. Filters define a type and priority that determines the processing order of the filter. Filters are processed in this sort order until a filter accepts the document for filtering. The filter uses the document's content type to determine if the filter should handle the current document. The content-type is determined by the files suffix if not supplied by the calling program. The individual filters are not designed to be used as separate modules. All access to the filters is through this SWISH::Filter module. Normally, once a document is filtered processing stops. Filters can filter the document and then set a flag saying that filtering should continue (for example a filter that uncompresses a MS Word document before passing on to the filter that converts from MS Word to text). All this should be transparent to the end user. So, filters can be pipe-lined. The idea of SWISH::Filter is that new filters can be created, and then downloaded and installed to provide new filtering capabilities. For example, if you needed to index MS Excel documents you might be able to download a filter from the Swish-e site and magically next time you run indexing MS Excel docs would be indexed. The SWISH::Filter setup can be used with -S prog or -S http. It works best with the -S prog method because the filter modules only need to be loaded and compiled one time. The -S prog program F will automatically use SWISH::Filter when spidering with default settings (using "default" as the first parameter to spider.pl). The -S http indexing method uses a Perl helper script called F. F has been updated to work with SWISH::Filter, but (unlike spider.pl) does not contain a "use lib" line to point to the location of SWISH::Filter. This means that by default F will B use SWISH::Filter for filtering. The reason for this is because F runs for every URL fetched, and loading the Filters for each document can be slow. The recommended way of spidering is using -S prog with spider.pl, but if -S http is desired the way to enable SWISH::Filter is to set PERL5LIB before running swish so that F will be able to locate the SWISH::Filter module. Here's one way to set the PERL5LIB with the bash shell: $ export PERL5LIB=`swish-filter-test -path` =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item $filter = SWISH::Filter-Enew() This creates a SWISH::Filter object. You may pass in options as a list or a hash reference. =back =head2 SWISH::Filter-Enew Options There is currently only one option that can be passed in to new(): =over 4 =item ignore_filters Pass in a reference to a list of filter names to ignore. For example, if you have two filters installed "Pdf2HTML" and "Pdf2XML" and want to avoid using "Pdf2XML": my $filter = SWISH::Filter->new( ignore_filters => ['Pdf2XML']; =cut sub new { my $class = shift; $class = ref( $class ) || $class; my %attr = ref $_[0] ? %{$_[0]} : @_ if @_; my $self = bless {}, $class; $self->{skip_filters} = {}; $self->ignore_filters( delete $attr{ignore_filters} ) if $attr{ignore_filters}; warn "Unknown SWISH::Filter->new() config setting '$_'\n" for keys %attr; $self->create_filter_list( %attr ); eval { require MIME::Types }; if ( $@ ) { $class->mywarn( "Failed to load MIME::Types\n$@\nInstall MIME::Types for more complete MIME support"); # handle the lookup for a small number of types locally $self->{mimetypes} = $self; } else { $self->{mimetypes} = MIME::Types->new; } return $self; } # Here's some common mime types my %mime_types = ( doc => 'application/msword', pdf => 'application/pdf', html => 'text/html', htm => 'text/html', txt => 'text/plain', text => 'text/plain', xml => 'text/xml', mp3 => 'audio/mpeg', ); sub mimeTypeOf { my ( $self, $file ) = @_; $file =~ s/.*\.//; return $mime_types{$file} || undef; } sub ignore_filters { my ( $self, $filters ) = @_; unless ( $filters ) { return unless $self->{ignore_filter_list}; return @{$self->{ignore_filter_list}}; } @{$self->{ignore_filter_list}} = @$filters; # create lookup hash for filters to skip $self->{skip_filters} = map { $_, 1 } @$filters; } =item $doc_object = $filter-Econvert(); This method filters a document. Returns an object of the class SWISH::Filter::document or undefined if passed in an empty document, a filename that cannot be read off disk, or if no filters have been loaded. SWISH::Filter::document methods listed below can be called on the object to, for example, check if the document was filtered and to fetch the document content (filtered or not). You must pass in a hash (or hash reference) of parameters to the convert() method. The possible parameters are: =over 8 =item document This can be either a path to a file, or a scalar reference to a document in memory. This is required. =item content_type The MIME type of the document. This is only required when passing in a scalar reference to a document. The content type string is what the filters use to match a document type. When passing in a file name and C is not set, then the content type will be determined from the file's extension by using the MIME::Types Perl module (available on CPAN). =item name Optional name to pass in to filters that will be used in error and warning messages. =item user_data Optional data structure that all filters may access. This can be fetched in a filter by: my $user_data = $doc_object->user_data; And used in the filter as: if ( ref $user_data && $user_data->{pdf2html}{title} ) { ... } It's up to the filter author to use a unique first-level hash key for a given filter. =back Example of using the convert() method: $doc_object = $filter->convert( document => $doc_ref, content-type => 'application/pdf', ); =cut sub convert { my $self = shift; my %attr = ref $_[0] ? %{$_[0]} : @_ if @_; # Any filters? return unless $self->filter_list; my $doc = delete $attr{document} || die "Failed to supply document attribute 'document' when calling filter()\n"; my $content_type = delete $attr{content_type}; # Allow a reference to a file name (where is this used??) if ( ref $content_type ) { my $type = $self->decode_content_type( $$content_type ); unless ( $type ) { warn "Failed to set content type for file reference '$$content_type'\n"; return; } $content_type = $type; } if ( ref $doc ) { die "Must supply a content type when passing in a reference to a document\n" unless $content_type; } else { $content_type ||= $self->decode_content_type( $doc ); unless ( $content_type ) { warn "Failed to set content type for document '$doc'\n"; return; } $attr{name} ||= $doc; # Set default name of document } $self->mywarn("\n>> Starting to process new document: $content_type"); ## Create a new document object my $doc_object = SWISH::Filter::document->new( $doc, $content_type ); return unless $doc_object; # fails on empty doc or doc not readable local $SIG{__DIE__}; local $SIG{__WARN__}; # Look for left over config settings that we do not know about for my $setting ( keys %extra_methods ) { next unless $attr{$setting}; my $method = "set_" . $setting; $doc_object->$method(delete $attr{$setting}); # if given a document name then use that in error messages if ( $setting eq 'name' ) { $SIG{__DIE__} = sub { die "$$ Error- ", $doc_object->name, ": ", @_ }; $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { warn "$$ Warning - ", $doc_object->name, ": ", @_ }; } } warn "Unknown filter config setting '$_'\n" for keys %attr; # Now run through the filters my $done; for my $filter ( $self->filter_list ) { $self->mywarn(" ++Checking filter [$filter] for $content_type" ); # can this filter handle this content type? next unless $filter->can_filter_mimetype( $doc_object->content_type ); my $start_content_type = $doc_object->content_type; my $filtered_doc; # run the filter eval { local $SIG{__DIE__}; $filtered_doc = $filter->filter($doc_object); }; if ( $@ ) { $self->mywarn("Problems with filter '$filter'.

Filters are not complicated -- see the existing filters for examples. Each filter defines the content-types (or mimetypes) that it can handle. These are specified as a list of regular expressions to match against the document's content-type. If one of the mimetypes of a filter match the incoming document's content-type the filter is called. The filter can then either filter the content or return undefined indicating that it decided not to filter the document for some reason. If the document is converted the filter returns either a reference to a scalar of the content or a file name where the content is stored. The filter also must change the content-type of the document to reflect the new document. Filters typically use external programs or modules to do that actual work of converting a document from one type to another. For example, programs in the Xpdf packages are used for converting PDF files. The filter can (and should) test for those programs in its new() method. Filters also can define a type and priority. These attributes are used to set the order filters are tested for a content-type match. This allows you to have more than one filter that can work on the same content-type. If a filter calls die() then the filter is removed from the chain and will not be called again I. Calling die when running with -S http or -S fs has no effect since the program is run once per document. Once a filter returns something other than undef no more filters will be called. If the filter calls $filter-Eset_continue then processing will continue as if the file was not filtered. For example, a filter can uncompress data and then set $filter-Eset_continue and let other filters process the document. This is the list of methods the filter should or may define (as specificed): =over 4 =item new() * required * This method returns either an object which provides access to the filter, or undefined if the filter is not to be used. The new() method is a good place to check for required modules or helper programs. Returning undefined prevents the filter from being included in the filter chain. The new method must return a blessed hash reference. The only required attribute is B. This attribute must contain a reference to an array of regular expressions used for matching the content-type of the document passed in. Example: sub new { my ( $class ) = @_; # List of regular expressions my @mimetypes = ( qr[application/(x-)?msword], qr[application/worddoc], ); my %settings = ( mimetypes => \@mimetypes, # Optional settings priority => 20, type => 2, ); return bless \%settings, $class; } The attribute "mimetypes" returns an array reference to a list of regular expressions. Those patterns are matched against each document's content type. =item filter() * required * This is the function that does the work of converting a document from one content type to another. The function is passed the document object. See document object methods listed below for what methods may be called on a document. The function can return undefined (or any false value) to indicate that the filter did not want to process the document. Other filters will then be tested for a content type match. If the document is filtered then the filter must set the new document's content type (if it changed) and return either a file name where the document can be found or a reference to a scalar containing the document. =item type() Returns a number. Filters are sorted (for processing in a specific order) and this number is simply the primary key used in sorting. If not specified the filter's type used for sorting is 2. This is an optional method. You can also set the type in your new() constructor as shown above. =item priority() Returns a number. Filters are sorted (for processing in a specific order) and this number is simply the secondary key used in sorting. If not specified the filter's priority is 50. This is an optional method. You can also set the priority in your new() constructor as shown above. =back Again, the point of the type() and priority() methods is to allow setting the sort order of the filters. Useful if you have two filters for filtering the same content-type, but prefer to use one over the other. Neither are required. Here's a module to convert MS Word documents using the program "catdoc": package SWISH::Filters::Doc2txt; use vars qw/ $VERSION /; $VERSION = '0.02'; sub new { my ( $class ) = @_; my $self = bless { mimetypes => [ qr!application/(x-)?msword! ], priority => 50, }, $class; # check for helpers return $self->set_programs( 'catdoc' ); } sub filter { my ( $self, $doc ) = @_; my $content = $self->run_catdoc( $doc->fetch_filename ) || return; # update the document's content type $filter->set_content_type( 'text/plain' ); # return the document return \$content; } 1; The new() constructor creates a blessed hash which contains an array reference of mimetypes patterns that this filter accepts. The priority sets this filter to run after any other filters that might handle the same type of content. The F function says that we need to call a program called "catdoc". The function either returns $self or undefined if catdoc could not be found. The F function creates a new method for running catdoc. The filter function runs catdoc passing in the name of the file (if the file is in memory a temporary file is created). That F function was created by the F call above. =cut #========================================================================= package SWISH::Filter::document; use strict; use File::Temp; use Symbol; use vars '$AUTOLOAD'; =head1 SWISH::Filter::document Methods These methods are available to Filter authors, and also provide access to the document after calling the convert() method to end-users of SWISH::Filter.

If the file is currently on disk then it will be read into memory. If the file was stored in a temporary file on disk the file will be deleted once read into memory.

A number of methods are available by default (and some can be overridden). Others are useful when writing your new() constructor. =over 4 =item $self-E<gt>type This method fetches the type of the filter. The value returned sets the primary sort key for sorting the filters. You can override this in your filter, or just set it as an attribute in your object. The default is 2. The idea of the "type" is to create groups of filters, if needed. For example, you might have a set of filters that are used for uncompressing some documents before passing on to another group for filtering. =cut sub type { 2 }; =item $self-E<gt>priority This method fetches the priority of the filter. The value returned sets the secondary sort key for sorting the filters. You can override this in your filter, or just set it as an attribute in your object. The default method returns 50. The priority is useful if you have multiple filters for the same content type that use different methods for filtering (say one uses wvWare and another uses catdoc for filtering MS Word files). You might give the wvWare filter a lower priority number so it runs before the catdoc filter if both wvWare AND catdoc happen to be installed at the same time. =cut sub priority { 50 }; # default priority =item @types = $self-E<gt>mimetypes Returns the list of mimetypes (as regular expressions) set for the filter. =cut sub mimetypes { my $self = shift; die "Filter [$self] failed to set 'mimetypes' in new() constructor\n" if ! $self->{mimetypes}; die "Filter [$self] 'mimetypes' entry is not an array reference\n" unless ref $self->{mimetypes} eq 'ARRAY'; return @{ $self->{mimetypes} }; } =item $pattern = $self-E<gt>can_filter_mimetype( $content_type ) Returns true if passed in content type matches one of the filter's mimetypes Returns the pattern that matched. =cut sub can_filter_mimetype { my ( $self, $content_type ) = @_; die "Must supply content_type to can_filter_mimetype()" unless $content_type; for my $pattern ( $self->mimetypes ) { return $pattern if $content_type =~ /$pattern/; } return; } =item mywarn( $message ) method for printing out message if debugging is available =cut sub mywarn { my $self = shift; print STDERR "Filter: $self: ", @_,"\n" if $ENV{FILTER_DEBUG}; } =item $boolean = $self-E<gt>set_programs( @program_list ); Returns true if all the programs listed in @program_list are found and can be executed as the current user. Creates a method for each program with the "run_" prefix. Returns false is ANY program cannot be found. Actually, it returns $self, so you can make it the last statement in your constructor. So in your constructor you might do: return $self->set_programs( qw/ pdftotext pdfinfo / ); Then in your filter() method: my $content = $self->run_pdfinfo( $doc->fetch_filename, [options] ); =cut sub set_programs { my ($self, @progs ) = @_; for my $prog ( @progs ) { my $path = $self->find_binary( $prog ); unless ( $path ) { $self->mywarn("Can not use Filter: failed to find $prog.

Must pass in @args. Under Windows calls IPC::Open2, which may pass data through the shell. Double-quotes are escaped (backslashed) and each parameter is wrapped in double-quotes. On other platforms a fork and exec is used to avoid passing any data through the shell. Returns a reference to a scalar containing the output from your program, or dies. This method is intended to read output from a program that converts one format into text. The output is read back in text mode -- on systems like Windows this means \r\n (CRLF) will be convertet to \n. =cut sub run_program { my $self = shift; die "No arguments passed to run_program()\n" unless @_; die "Must pass arguments to program '$_[0]'\n" unless @_ > 1; my $fh = $^O =~ /Win32/i || $^O =~ /VMS/i ? $self->windows_fork( @_ ) : $self->real_fork( @_ ); local $/ = undef; my $output = <$fh>; close $fh; # When using IPC::Open3 need to reap the processes. waitpid delete $self->{pid}, 0 if $self->{pid}; return $output; } #================================================================== # Run swish-e by forking # use Symbol; sub real_fork { my ( $self, @args ) = @_; # Run swish my $fh = gensym; my $pid = open( $fh, '-|' ); die "Failed to fork: $!\n" unless defined $pid; return $fh if $pid; delete $self->{temp_file}; # in child, so don't want to delete on destroy. exec @args or exit; # die "Failed to exec '$args[0]': $!\n"; } #===================================================================================== # Need # sub windows_fork { my ( $self, @args ) = @_; require IPC::Open2; my ( $rdrfh, $wtrfh ); my @command = map { s/"/\\"/g; qq["$_"] } @args; my $pid = IPC::Open2::open2($rdrfh, $wtrfh, @command ); # IPC::Open3 uses binmode for some reason (5.6.1) # Assume that the output from the program will be in text # Maybe an invalid assumption if running through a binary filter binmode $rdrfh, ':crlf'; # perhpaps: unless delete $self->{binary_output}; $self->{pid} = $pid; return $rdrfh; } =back =cut 1; __END__ =head1 TESTING Filters can be tested with the F<swish-filter-test> program.
