i've been trying to find a way to index several online books i have from o'reilly. Because most of thse contain a large amount of example code depending on what the book is about , htdig seems to miss , or not index , the bulk of the text in the files.
i would like to be able to do a search for perl file open and find references to the syntax of the open command in "perl in a nutshell" unfortunaly because the syntax looks like open (IN,"filename"); ( or worse open (IN,$filesname); ) i belive htdig is ignoring it ( i'm not even going to start to think of the problems with the 12 or so books i have on java ) although the words open and file are their and i belive the title of the doc is perl in a nutshell on the html page pg134.html in that docs dir , the search never seems to bring up that doc , or any other doc having to to with any of the perl books ( i have about 5 ). is this not somthing i will be able to do with htdig? keep in mind that re-building my db takes a good 6 hours , so testing multiple configurations could take quite some time. Although i will say htdig does do a good job of indexing most of the other text in my docs , i mainly need a referance when i'm looking up a syntax for somthing. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
