Using IFilter in C# and retrieving file from database rather than file system

Question

For a C# web application I am wanting to index text from PDF, DOC, etc files stored in a database.

I have been experimenting with an IFilter example on Code Project which works great for files from the file system, but my files are stored in a MS-SQL database.

Can anyone help me locate a sample to extract text from files stored in a database or have an idea on how to modify the Code Project code to work with a database instead of the file system?

Answer 1

Finally after many hours I figured out how to make this work! I needed to run IFilter on PDF content stored in a database and I wanted to avoid saving the data to temporary files.

First I tried to use the BindIFilterFromStream API to create an IFilter for content stored in a Stream, but it seems that it doesn't work properly (at least not for this scenario). So don't go that way.

Instead you need to create an IFilter for a file extension (or access it some other way). Then you can access the IPersistStream COM interface and use it to load the PDF content into the IFilter. The rest works the same as for files. However, note that the IPersistStream API may not be implemented by every IFilter. It works for the Adobe PDF IFilter though.

The code should look like this (I removed some return code checking to make the code more readable, however, you should check all possible return codes).

private string ParseIFilter(Stream s)
{
   // Get an IFilter for a file or file extension
   IFilter filter = null;
   FilterReturnCodes result = NativeMethods.LoadIFilter(".pdf", null, ref filter);
   if (result != FilterReturnCodes.S_OK)
   {
      Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHR((int)result);
   }

   // Copy the content to global memory
   byte[] buffer = new byte[s.Length];
   s.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
   IntPtr nativePtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(buffer.Length);
   Marshal.Copy(buffer, 0, nativePtr, buffer.Length);

   // Create a COM stream
   System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.IStream comStream;
   NativeMethods.CreateStreamOnHGlobal(nativePtr, true, out comStream);

   // Load the contents to the iFilter using IPersistStream interface
   var persistStream = (IPersistStream)filter;
   persistStream.Load(comStream);

   // Initialize iFilter
   FilterFlags filterFlags;
   FilterReturnCodes result = filter.Init(
      FilterInit.IFILTER_INIT_INDEXING_ONLY, 0, IntPtr.Zero, out filterFlags);

   return ExtractTextFromIFilter(filter);
}

Text extraction from the filter looks like this in my code. There are many examples of this on the web and it can be implemented in many ways depending on what you need.

private string ExtractTextFromIFilter(IFilter filter)
{
   var sb = new StringBuilder();

   while (true)
   {
      StatChunk chunk;
      result = filter.GetChunk(out chunk);

      if (result == FilterReturnCodes.S_OK)
      {
         if (chunk.flags == ChunkState.CHUNK_TEXT)
         {
            sb.Append(ExtractTextFromChunk(filter, chunk));
         }

         continue;
      }

      if (result == FilterReturnCodes.FILTER_E_END_OF_CHUNKS)
      {
         return sb.ToString();
      }

      Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHR((int)result);
   }
}

private virtual string ExtractTextFromChunk(IFilter filter, StatChunk chunk)
{
   var sb = new StringBuilder();

   var result = FilterReturnCodes.S_OK;
   while (result == FilterReturnCodes.S_OK)
   {
      int sizeBuffer = 16384;
      var buffer = new StringBuilder(sizeBuffer);
      result = filter.GetText(ref sizeBuffer, buffer);

      if ((result == FilterReturnCodes.S_OK) || (result == FilterReturnCodes.FILTER_S_LAST_TEXT))
      {
         if((sizeBuffer > 0) && (buffer.Length > 0))
         {
            sb.Append(buffer.ToString(0, sizeBuffer));
         }
      }

      if (result == FilterReturnCodes.FILTER_E_NO_TEXT)
      {
         return string.Empty;
      }

      if ((result == FilterReturnCodes.FILTER_S_LAST_TEXT) || (result == FilterReturnCodes.FILTER_E_NO_MORE_TEXT))
      {
         return sb.ToString();
      }
   }

   return sb.ToString();
}

Wow, that's what I call a detailed answer! – Sterol

Answer 2

I have worked in the past on providing an iFilter intended to provide any search/indexing tool access to text contents inside an AutoCad dwg file. You can read some of my adventure here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ifilter/archive/2006/12/25/chronicles-of-an-ifilter-development-inception-to-deployment.aspx

The code you are referring to is old, but still valid. However, there are now more interfaces in use beside GetTextFromFile. You will need to use the stream reader, read up in IPersistStream in the link I mentioned above. If I understand what you want to do, you'll need to open the file as a stream from the database and present this stream to the search/indexer or the iFilter of your choice.

Good luck, Marco

This seems to be the right track but I haven't been able to find any working examples, nor get anything working myself. I also read that the Adobe PDF IFilter works only with files and not with a stream - not sure if this is true - but am wondering if this is actually going to be possible. – Exsert

Wasn't there a 2005 sample code on codeplex? Anyhow, the lack of live samples was a great frustration for me in my project. Look at the Microsoft definition for the stream interface and go from there. There is a buffer memory, and a flag that signalls you need to repeat the call to get another fill for the buffer. For PDF ifilter, you may need to look at a different supplier as previously adobe has not been the first to supply e.g. the 64 bit version. Try the Foxit site: ifilter.org/links_pdf.htm – Neckcloth

Answer 3

I was hoping to do the same thing, but I ended up adding another column to the database table for the TextContent. I saved the BinaryContent to a temporary file, used the CodeProject library Epocalisde.IFilter dll to find the Text, and added that to the TextContent column.

Answer 4

Building on Mareks example, here's my take which uses an implementation of the IStream interface instead of allocating memory through Marshal.AllocHGlobal to create a COM stream.

It works with the Adobe PDF iFilter 64 11.0.01 and a ton of formats such as .doc, .docx, .html, .odt, .rtf, the list goes on.

Complete example:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Text;

namespace TextExtraction
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var file = new FileInfo(@"C:\Path\To\Some.doc");

            using (var stream = file.OpenRead())
            {
                var filter = Load(stream, file.Extension);
                if (filter != null)
                {
                    var text = GetText(filter);
                    Console.WriteLine(text);
                }
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Press your favorite key to exit");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }

        private static IFilter Load(Stream stream, string extension)
        {
            IFilter filter = null;

            if (NativeMethods.LoadIFilter(extension, null, ref filter) == HRESULT.S_OK)
            {
                if (filter is IPersistStream persistStream)
                {
                    persistStream.Load(new ManagedStream(stream));

                    if (filter.Init(IFILTER_INIT.IFILTER_INIT_APPLY_INDEX_ATTRIBUTES, 0, IntPtr.Zero, out IFILTER_FLAGS filterFlags) == IFilterReturnCodes.S_OK)
                    {
                        return filter;
                    }
                }
            }

            return null;
        }

        private static string GetText(IFilter filter)
        {
            var text = new StringBuilder();

            while (filter.GetChunk(out var chunk) == IFilterReturnCodes.S_OK)
            {
                ReadChunk(filter, chunk, text);
            }

            return text.ToString();
        }

        private static void ReadChunk(IFilter filter, STAT_CHUNK chunk, StringBuilder text)
        {
            var textResult = IFilterReturnCodes.S_OK;
            while (textResult == IFilterReturnCodes.S_OK)
            {
                var bufferSize = 4096U;
                var buffer = new char[bufferSize];
                textResult = filter.GetText(ref bufferSize, buffer);

                if ((textResult == IFilterReturnCodes.S_OK || textResult == IFilterReturnCodes.FILTER_S_LAST_TEXT) && bufferSize > 0)
                {
                    if (chunk.breakType == CHUNK_BREAKTYPE.CHUNK_EOP)
                    {
                        text.Append('\n');
                    }

                    text.Append(buffer, 0, (int) bufferSize);
                }
            }
        }
