Thanks, Pascal. I don't want to analyze them -- I simply want to ignore
them and not have the process die if it encounters a file type (or
contents) that isn't some form of text.

Hi Dennis,
You will not be able to analyze directly documents in binary format
using the UIMA samples. There is no default converter included in the
package. So you should first convert them into a text file (using "save
as"by example) or implement an external converter within your
application.

Sorry that I was unclear. The bad characters appeared when I took the
compiled tutorial and pointed it at a directory of mine, rather than the
one that came with the tutorial (no data problems in there!).
Could be that there was a jpeg in the directory, or an embedded image in
a word document. I'll follow up on that tutorial reference . Thanks.
I just almost had a successful run. However, it coughed because a
file had a "non-XML character, 0x0."
Where was this character? If it was in your XML descriptors, then
that needs to be corrected. It is possible to analyze arbitrary data,
including "byte" data containing any characters, in UIMA; see
http://incubator.apache.org/uima/downloads/releaseDocs/2.2.1-incubating/
docs/html/tutorials_and_users_guides/tutorials_and_users_guides.html#ugr
.tug.aas.sofa_data_formats
This also happened when i was running the unmodified tutorial
example.
Can you say where this character occurred in the unmodified tutorial
example
