NulPlugin

Dummy (.nul) file plugin. Used with the files produced by Exploding Metadata Files.

Processes files with extensions: .nul
Perl regular expression: (?i)\.nul$

The following table lists all of the configuration options available for NulPlugin.

Option	Description	Value
NulPlugin Options
process_exp	A perl regular expression to match against filenames. Matching filenames will be processed by this plugin. For example, using '(?i).html?\$' matches all documents ending in .htm or .html (case-insensitive).	Default: (?i)\.nul$
assoc_field	Name of a metadata field that will be set for each nul file.	Default: null_file
add_metadata_as_text	Add a table of metadata as the text of the document, rather than "This document has no text".
remove_namespace_for_text	Remove namepsaces from metadata names in the document text (if add_metadata_as_text is set).
Options Inherited from BasePlugin
process_exp	A perl regular expression to match against filenames. Matching filenames will be processed by this plugin. For example, using '(?i).html?\$' matches all documents ending in .htm or .html (case-insensitive).
no_blocking	Don't do any file blocking. Any associated files (e.g. images in a web page) will be added to the collection as documents in their own right.
block_exp	Files matching this regular expression will be blocked from being passed to any later plugins in the list.
store_original_file	Save the original source document as an associated file. Note this is already done for files like PDF, Word etc. This option is only useful for plugins that don't already store a copy of the original file.
associate_ext	Causes files with the same root filename as the document being processed by the plugin AND a filename extension from the comma separated list provided by this argument to be associated with the document being processed rather than handled as a separate list.
associate_tail_re	A regular expression to match filenames against to find associated files. Used as a more powerful alternative to associate_ext.
OIDtype	The method to use when generating unique identifiers for each document.	Default: auto List
OIDmetadata	Specifies the metadata element that hold's the document's unique identifier, for use with -OIDtype=assigned.	Default: dc.Identifier
no_cover_image	Do not look for a prefix.jpg file (where prefix is the same prefix as the file being processed) to associate as a cover image.
filename_encoding	The encoding of the source file filenames.	Default: auto List
file_rename_method	The method to be used in renaming the copy of the imported file and associated files.	Default: url List
