Hi, all:I am new to Ferret, can anyone please tell me what do I do to index some text files in a local directory?
Have a look at either RDig (rdig.rubyforge.org) or the FerretFinder project (http://www.methods.co.nz/ff/) - each of these projects do what you want (and are open source).
Or, even better, get the Ferret Book (available as PDF or in Print from O'Reilly) for a complete reference including many examples (afair there's also an example that deals with indexing files).
Basically it boils down to - create new ferret index - for each file:- get textual content (involves conversion from pdf, word or whatever file format to plain text)
- create ferret document with textual content and filename - add ferret document to ferret index - close ferret index Cheers, Jens -- Jens Krämer Finkenlust 14, 06449 Aschersleben, Germany VAT Id DE251962952 http://www.jkraemer.net/ - Blog http://www.omdb.org/ - The new free film database
