ParserMonster can read any of the following types of files:

• Text
• Rich text
• Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
• Microsoft Word documents
• XML (currently, only as raw text)

In order to determine the reading method used, ParserMonster maintains a list of file extensions, mapped to one of the listed file types. the list is stored in a hidden file named cx-ExtensionMapDefault.txt. You can make another cx- file if you need to override or extend this list.

The only valid mapping keywords are as follows (ParserMonster can read the bold types):

• bin (Binary)
• doc (Microsoft Word documents)
• img (Image)
• rtf (Rich text) ¹
• txt (Text)
• xls (Microsoft Excel spreadsheets)
• xml (XML) ²
• zip (Archive)
• ??? (Unknown) ³

[1] Some non-standard and complex rich text documents can't be read properly. If possible, convert to Word document.

[2] The XML is not interpreted, ParserMonster sees it as raw text.

[3] ParserMonster treats unknown filetypes as plain text. It assumes you are trying to process text. Deliberately choosing non-text files of unknown type may slow down the program! (The exceptions are tasks that only process file names.)

This is a dump of cx-ExtensionMapDefault.txt and may be out of date.
