Free data extractor downloads software for linux

Flat File Extractor can be used for reading different flat file structures and printing them in different formats. ffe is a command line tool developed in GNU/Linux environment and it is distributed under GNU General Public License 2 or later.
Main areas of use are:
- Extracting particular fields or records from a flat file
- Converting data from one format to an other, e.g. from CSV to fixed length
- Verifying a flat file structure
- Testing tool for flat file development
- Displaying flat file content in human readable form
Main features:
- Command-line tool
- Reads standard input and writes to standard output as default
- One input file can contain several types of records (lines)
- Fields in a flat file can be fixed length or separated
- Input file structure and output definitions are independent, meaning one output format can be used with several input files
- Input file structure and output format are freely configurable, they are not predefined
- Output can be formatted e.g. as: fixed length, separated, tokenized, XML, SQL,...
- ffe tries to guess the input format, user needs not to give it as a parameter
Enhancements:
- Configuration keyword const has been added

ccextractor project is a fast closed captions extractor for MPEG files.
ccextractor is mostly a mildly optimized C port of McPoodles excellent but painfully slow Perl script SCC_RIP. It lets you rip the raw closed captions (read: subtitles) data from a number of sources, such as DVD or replay TV.
As an added bonus compared to the original SCC_RIP, ccextractor can extract subtitles from the HDTV transport streams that are becoming more common.
At this point ccextractor extracts the line 21 captions (which must legally be present for a number of years until the transition to digital is complete). Note that in most .ts you can find, there will be subtitle data for both analog (EIA-608) decoders and digital (EIA-708). AFAIK there are not
freely available EIA-708 rippers.
Anyway, since line 21 captions will be available for some time, we have time to build a decent 708 ripper.
Basic Usage
For details on CC, please go to McPoodles page:

You will need his tools to use ccextrators output.
The basic idea is that you get the raw closed caption dump from ccextractor.
Then you need other tools (which vary depending on what you want to do) to continue processing.
To get a transcript from a .ts file in .srt (I assume this will be the most common use) do this:
ccextractor -12 input_file
-12 means "extract both subtitle tracks" (actually technical names are fields but tracks is easier to understand). 1 is almost always English. 2 is Spanish in HBO (at least in the few samples Ive seen) but could be anything. Just extract both of them and check.
Example: cctractor -12 house315.ts
ccextractor will create two files, called house315_1.bin and _2.
Then use McPoodles RAW2SCC to create a temporary SCC file (means Scenerist, which is originally the native format for some program, its not important here).
raw2scc house315_1.bin
This creates house315_1.scc
From this .scc file, you can get the final .srt by using McPoodles CCASDI:
ccasdi -s house315_1.srt
Which looks like this (just 3 random lines shown).

Enhancements:
- This release adds support for DVR-MS files.
- It improves the CC decoder.
- There are several bugfixes, a major speed boost (20%-40%), improved timing for non-TS files, improved format autodetection, and other minor improvements.

Retriever Download Manager program was written completely in the Java programming language and will run on any operating system with a Java Virtual Machine installed (JVM 1.4 or higher).
Retriever allows you to download files from the internet easier and with more control than from your web browser, with it you can resume interrupted downloads at any time thats convenient or even schedule downloads to occur when youre away from your computer.

Retriever is highly reliable and customizable.
Downloads can be input manually into the program or captured from the clipboard.
You can also drag and drop links onto the download list to capture them. If a selection of text is dropped, it will be parsed for links, you can use this behaviour to add multiple files at once.
Main features:
- Resumable FTP and HTTP downloads.
- Support for BitTorrent transfers (starting with version 0.905).
- FTP and HTTP server authentication.
- supports HTTP, FTP and SOCKS proxies with authentication.

Data::ICal::Entry::Todo is a Perl module that represents a to-do entry in an iCalendar file.

SYNOPSIS

my $vtodo = Data::ICal::Entry::Todo->new();
$vtodo->add_properties(
summary => "go to sleep",
status => INCOMPLETE,
# Dat*e*::ICal is not a typo here
dtstart => Date::ICal->new( epoch => time )->ical,
);

$calendar->add_entry($vtodo);

$vtodo->add_entry($alarm);

A Data::ICal::Entry::Todo object represents a single to-do entry in an iCalendar file. (Note that the iCalendar RFC refers to entries as "components".) It is a subclass of Data::ICal::Entry and accepts all of its methods.

Obscure-Extractor-GTK can extract data from simple and unusual archives as used by games, e.g. Neverwinter Nights, Homeworld 2, BloodRayne.

Mostly a framework where I can easily add new modules when I want to have a look at the inner workings of games, though the Delphi version has some more advanced stuff like support for old InstallShield archives that would need to be ported.

Erwin Data Structures is a library that is meant to be the ultimate data structure library for mixed usage of C and C++.

Arbitrary key and value types are implemented by template files that dont use C++ templates, but are instantiated by a Perl script.

This way, mixed usage in C and C++ is possible. However, a C++ interface is generated to support the advantages of the C++ language. No templates, no void*.
Erwin contains a number of tools, too, all of them written in Perl. The following list shows the data structures and tools, together with some typical examples.

Data::ICal::Entry::Journal is a Perl module that represents a journal entry in an iCalendar file.

SYNOPSIS

description => "I cried because I wanted to.",
# Dat*e*::ICal is not a typo here
dtstart => Date::ICal->new( epoch => time )->ical,
);

$calendar->add_entry($vjournal);

A Data::ICal::Entry::Journal object represents a single journal entry in an iCalendar file. (Note that the iCalendar RFC refers to entries as "components".) It is a subclass of Data::ICal::Entry and accepts all of its methods.
