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 _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
