ODBM_File is a Perl module to allow tied access to odbm files.

SYNOPSIS

use Fcntl; # For O_RDWR, O_CREAT, etc.
use ODBM_File;

# Now read and change the hash
$h{newkey} = newvalue;
print $h{oldkey};
...

untie %h;

ODBM_File establishes a connection between a Perl hash variable and a file in ODBM_File format;. You can manipulate the data in the file just as if it were in a Perl hash, but when your program exits, the data will remain in the file, to be used the next time your program runs.

Use ODBM_File with the Perl built-in tie function to establish the connection between the variable and the file. The arguments to tie should be:

The hash variable you want to tie.

The string "ODBM_File". (Ths tells Perl to use the ODBM_File package to perform the functions of the hash.)

The name of the file you want to tie to the hash.

Flags. Use one of:

O_RDONLY

Read-only access to the data in the file.

O_WRONLY

Write-only access to the data in the file.

O_RDWR

Both read and write access.

If you want to create the file if it does not exist, add O_CREAT to any of these, as in the example. If you omit O_CREAT and the file does not already exist, the tie call will fail.

The default permissions to use if a new file is created. The actual permissions will be modified by the users umask, so you should probably use 0666 here. (See "umask" in perlfunc.)

Flatworm project is a Java library intended to allow a developer to describe the format of a flat file using an XML definition file, and then to be able to automatically read lines from that file, and have one or more beans be instantiated for each logical record.

There are a few powerful features in Flatworm worth mentioning. For one thing, a record may consist of one or more physical lines in the file. A record may contain more than one bean once decoded. A flat file may contain more than one type of record, and Flatworm can use line length and substring matching to determine which type of record a line begins.

Besides fielded buffer flat files, Flatworm also supports text files where the different fields are separated by a separator character, e.g. CSV (comma separated values) files.

Last but not least, Flatworm is able to produce flat files from beans and the same definition file.

File::Format::RIFF is a Perl module to Resource Interchange File Format/RIFF files.

SYNOPSIS

use File::Format::RIFF;

open( IN, file ) or die "Could not open file: $!";
my ( $riff1 ) = File::Format::RIFF->read( *IN );
close( IN );
$riff1->dump;

my ( $riff2 ) = new File::Format::RIFF( TYPE );
foreach my $chunk ( $riff1->data )
{
next if ( $chunk->id eq LIST );
$riff2->addChunk( $chunk->id, $chunk->data );
}
open( OUT, ">otherfile" ) or die "Could not open file: $!";
$riff2->write( *OUT );
close( OUT );

File::Format::RIFF provides an implementation of the Resource Interchange File Format. You can read, manipulate, and write RIFF files.

CONSTRUCTORS

$riff = new File::Format::RIFF( $type, $data );

Creates a new File::Format::RIFF object. $type is a four character code that identifies the type of this particular RIFF file. Certain types are defined to have a format, specifying which chunks must appear (e.g., WAVE files). If $type is not specified, it defaults to (four spaces). $data must be an array reference containing some number of RIFF lists and/or RIFF chunks. If $data is undef or not specified, then the new RIFF object is initialized empty.

$riff = File::Format::RIFF->read( $fh, $filesize );

Reads and parses an existing RIFF file from the given filehandle $fh. An exception will be thrown if the file is not a valid RIFF file. $filesize controls one aspect of the file format checking -- if $filesize is not specified, then stat will be called on $fh to determine how much data to expect. You may explicitly specify how much data to expect by passing in that value as $filesize. In either case, the amount of data read will be checked to make sure it matches the amount expected. Otherwise, it will throw an exception. If you do not wish it to make this check, pass in undef for $filesize.

Please note, if you wish to read an "in memory" filehandle, such as by doing this: open( $fh, read( $fh, $filesize );

The read constructor may also be used as a method. If used in this manner, then all existing data contained in $riff will be discarded, and replaced by the contents read from $fh.

$riff->write( $fh );

Outputs a properly-formatted RIFF file to the given filehandle $fh.

POI provides a java ports of popular OLE 2 file formats.
The POI project contains several components for dealing with popular OLE 2 formats in Java. POIFS is a pure Java implementation of the OLE 2 Compound document format.
HSSF is a pure Java implementation of Excel 97 XLS file format based on POIFS. HSSF Serializer is a pure Java serializer for Cocoon 2 that uses the Gnumeric XML format to output XLS.
Full documentation of the POIFS file format is included. If you wish to output reports in the Excel file format, or if you have existing XML documents that you need to get into Excel, then this project is probably what youre looking for.
Enhancements:
- Support for evaluating formulas in HSSF, initial support for HSLF (PowerPoint), and support for editing document properties (HPSF).

archmage project is an extensible reader/decompiler of files in CHM f format(Microsoft HTML help, also known as Compiled HTML).
There is three ways to use arCHMage package now:
1) Extract .chm to directory(directory will be created):
archmage < chmfile > < directory >
2) Run as http-server, which will publish chm file contents on specified port.
archmage -p < port > < chmfile >
3) Tune your apache to publish chm file contents if there is trailing slash in request to that file(you will need working mod_python for that):
Add that lines to your httpd.conf:
AddHandler python-program .chm
PythonHandler mod_chm
Restart apache.
Lets suppose, you have file sample.chm in DocumentRoot of your apache. After that tuning you can receive raw chm file, if you point your browser to
http://yourserver/sample.chm
or you can view chm file on the fly if you point your browser to
http://yourserver/sample.chm/ (note trailing slash)
Enhancements:
- The "dump" option was added for dumping HTML data from a CHM file as plain text (using external tools such as lynx or elinks).

thin liquid film project is an application which allows linux users to quickly and easily convert video files into a format suitable for playing on the video capable ipods. I wrote this application, after purchasing a video ipod, and being frustrated that the only real option for converting video was either via command-line, or via a servicemenu with no ability to configure the resulting video file.
TLF uses the ffmpeg engine to do the encoding. It is written in pyqt, so it should work with a default kde installation, and is very easy to install.
features ...
Main features:
- Batch process any number of files;
- Display detailed information about source video files;
- Change output settings for one or many files;
- Save default settings for future sessions;
- Configure output quality settings;
- Choose between mpeg4 and h264 as output codec;
- Choose between 320 and 640 output video width, while maintaining aspect ratio;
- Choose between 1 or 2 pass encoding;
- Progress bar to show encoding progress;
- Uses ffmpeg as the encoding engine;
- Upload encoded files to your ipod directly;
- Set file information for upload to your ipod;
