Hi,

I am trying to extract the text content of the postscript file and put
it into to a text file, in simple words i am trying to parse the
postscript files. Can anyone suggest or provide the code or the dll
which does this. I am using the C#.Net for my parsing.

Thank You.

If you have a long text editor with a Grep Search and Replace facility you
can extract the ascii text between the ( and ) PS delimiters by using:

Find (.[^\(]*)\((.[^\)]*)
Replace \2  \r

Note the space before \r
However, much DTP software produces binary or octal PS files and the only
way is to distill the original PS into PDF and use OCR to extract the
text.
