$8-15 USD / hour

For a publication library Win32 app, I am looking to extract data from its proprietary and undocumented file format. * It is multilingual and precedes Unicode, most likely compressed. * The individual documents are search indexed (indices in separate files). * They are sorted into a hierarchy: Publication (file-level) > Chapter > Content. * Some publications are magazines, their hierarchy is: Publication (file-level) > Year > Issue > Chapter > Content. * The documents are interconnected with hyperlinks. * Few publications contain images, most is formatted text. Source: I will provide you with the entire library viewer app including all of its publication files (1+GB). Deliverables: * The tool you develop to read and convert the files to the following format. * I can work from a set of legible, interconnected HTML (and JPG) files with their TOC files, sorted into nested folders. * All formatting, links and footnotes need to be retained. * Indices should be on a separate file per publication, using HTML anchor tags < a id="uniqueID" > in the content files. * I should be able to use the same tool on more files of the same specification. * Delivering a command line tool for Win32, x64, Linux or macOS is fine.

Hi, I had practice with different file formats; compressed and uncompressed, plain and encrypted. Hope to write nice tool for you. It would be great to see the example of database (even if it has size >1 GB); and sometimes it is helpful to see any related tool(s) which already works with this database. I'm ready to write short demo-example to prove that I understand the task right (before project accepting). Thank you for nice and interesting project!
