---------------------------------
Summary: New ExternalParser doesn't work on Windows
Key: TIKA-3730
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3730
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Tim Allison
[~tilman] noted that the external2.ExternalParser uses "replaceAll" on a regex
where the replacement is a file path does not work on Windows. The replaceAll
strips the file separators. I admit that I cannot figure out why this is is
happening. I've tried a couple of combinations of backslashing etc, but
nothing is working. I even tried Pattern.quote() and that doesn't work on
Windows.
If we back off to use "replace" with a string, everything seems to work.
