Word Doc Titles being ignored

Hi there,

I'm somewhat confused re when Webinator recognises the Title Property in Word or pdf files.

For example this document: http://www.decs.sa.gov.au/docs/files/co ... tion_a.doc has the Title property filled in but when indexed Webinator displays it is as simply a MSWORD Document

On the other hand this document: sa.edu.au/files/pages/OCMOG_Governance_Diag_0704.doc displays the appropriate Title when indexed.

Can someone explain what the difference is? We have numerous documents with Title Properties filled in but webinator is only displaying as MSWORD documents.

Thanks

I get the title ok from that doc. What's your version?

texis -version

I tried it again and still no title

Here is Texis version info:

Commercial Webinator 5.01.1149606138 winnt

Likewise this document which is locked also has a title which is displayed by webinator:

http://www.decs.sa.gov.au/hr1/files/lin ... L_A__1.doc

It appears to be an issue on windows versions. Modify dowalk to fix it. Change
!\n\n+\n\n
to
!\r\n\r\n+\r\n\r\n
It occurs twice.

Then rewalk.

Thanks. That seems to have fixed the problem. Have some more to check so will let you know if any other examples arise.

Unfortunately it now seems that the above change to make MS Word titles work properly is causing PDF docs with titles in their Properties to NOT display them instead just showing the default "pdf document"

Prior to the above change they were showing...

eg

I guess the previous solution wasn't sufficiently generic. Undo that and make the following change.

Add this line
<sandr "\x0d\x0a" "\x0a" $page><$page=$ret>
just above the line
<rex max=1 row ">>=\alnum=[\alnum\-]+: =!\n\n+\n\n" $page>

Thanks.

This change seems to have solved the problem on initial testing.

Will monitor and let you know if the situation changes.
