What do you want to 'import' from these files?

A while ago I tried to convert my pizza to a camera. Unfortunately tomatoes and mozzarella didn't produce very good still images (however, they tasted good).

Exact answer my 5.

Pizza is a very different genre: it's not imaging but happening.
However, it's safe if you check if pizza as camera == null. :-)
5 for reminding us about the conversion issues.

You can't.

"doc", "pdf", "mp3", "avi", etc. are not data types, they are file formats. Even then, they have revisions: Word Version N can create a "doc" file, but it cannot necessarily read a "doc" file created by version N + 1.

There is no control, DLL, or other item which can read any file format and make sense of it. There are controls and DLLs which can read the individual file formats and pass them through to you in a understandable way, but each of them differs in what it thinks of as an "understandable way"

What are you trying to do that you think needs this?

Absolutely. I used to work for a company which did document indexing and archiving. They would give you your weight in gold for such a miracle library. But I could tell you the trick they used to get all documents into the same format.

How much is it going to cost him?:laugh:

It has been a while since I left that company, but they would charge a nice five digit price at least.

OriginalGriff 6-May-11 5:21am

Cheap at twice the price!

If you find any paying customers, I'm sure I can write my own modules for that.

"Convert" became pandemic in CodeProject Inquirer. Who infected everyone with this nasty decease?!
My 5 for a bit of sanity.
