Indeed, I could probably hire people in the third world (or maybe soon in the US!!!) to read the doc and type it into a database, but heck, that'd put programmers out of business. I guess the database having 40,000 searchable notes is the real answer though. Awful hard to wade through a bunch word docs using text search. I have a couple of promising replies.

I know of someone who was involved in a software project like this - scanning paper documents and importing files into a massive searchable database for a large legal company. Many of the documents were more than 1000 pages long. The amount of money spend on the project was stunning.

[asterisk-users] Extremely OT: I need someone who can parse a MS Word or PDF or RTF document
Hi, I have a complex job totally unrelated to asterisk. I only post here because there are so many bright people on the list. Sorry, but someone may need a buck so write me if you are interested. Otherwise, ignore. We have as input a newsletter type document, originally in MS Word (but obviously can be exported as PDF or RTF if that helps). I need someone who can parse these documents and spit out a series of mysql INSERT statements that result form the position, context, symbology (color, bold, etc), of the text. It's a big challenge, but it might be an interesting job for someone who thinks they are ready and able to take it on. Basically this is taking a human readable text and turning it into a bunch of database SQL inserts. Please contact me OFF LIST if you are interested in bidding on the job. r ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
