Well, that seems like a filter written by someone with a sense of humour. OK. Lets get back to your use-case: - Data extracted from DLL files need to be stored in ML.
We have already explored the extract-metadata silliness. We have described options for initiating from MarkLogic (using your own external service). The next question is: ** Does this have to be initiated by MarkLogic? **If not: External to ML in the language of your choice, extract the data and use some http connector to load the data into ML via the built-in REST endpoints. This is back to the ETL approach: - Extract Metadata from DLL with VB - Translate it into XML or JSON - Load it into MarkLogic via REST endpoints Kind Regards, David Ennis On 2 September 2015 at 23:34, Danny Sinang <[email protected]> wrote: > Unfortunately, the only output I get from xdmp:document-filter() when I > pass in my DLL is this : > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> > <head> > <meta name="content-type" content="application/x-exe"/> > <meta name="filter-capabilities" content="none"/> > <meta name="size" content="20480"/> > </head> > </html> > > No version information, unlike the one returned by my VBScript. > > > > On Wed, Sep 2, 2015 at 4:46 PM, Danny Sinang <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Ah, document-get() ... perfect ... thanks ! >> >> - Danny >> >> On Wed, Sep 2, 2015 at 4:44 PM, Joe Bryan <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Hi Danny, >>> >>> You don't need to have the DLL stored in the database in order to use >>> xdmp:document-filter().
