I am working on Linux william-pc 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux Ok, I got to admit something, after knowing the seek function, only today I realize how actually determine the synset id which is equivalient to byte offset that you said. Before this I thought the synset id is determined by some kind of database auto-increment id/ primary key thing. lol. Now I realized of course when I added let's say 3 character to the first line and when the seek function try to seek(FH, 00001930, 0) , I will get g)\n00001930 03 n 01 physical_entity 0 007 @ 00001740 n 0000 ~ 00002452 n 0000 ~ 00002684 n 0000 ~ 00007347 n 0000 ~ 00020827 n 0000 ~ 00029677 n 0000 ~ 14580597 n 0000 | an entity that has physical existence 00001740 03 n 02 entity 0 003 ~ 00001930 n 0000 ~ 00002137 n 0000 ~ 04424418 n 0000 | that which is perceived or known or inferred to have its own distinct existence (living or nonliving) 00001930 03 n 01 physical_entity 0 007 @ 00001740 n 0000 ~ 00002452 n 0000 ~ 00002684 n 0000 ~ 00007347 n 0000 ~ 00020827 n 0000 ~ 00029677 n 0000 ~ 14580597 n 0000 | an entity that has physical existence Not wonder it's invalid. I wonder what is the reason they arrange the database in such a way ? Is it, it would make the lookup faster ? And what is that index.noun file used for when all the information in there is also in data.noun ? So now how can I add new synonym words to the WordNet database without affecting the original offset bytes ? Thanks.
