[htdig3-dev] Using htdig to index a local HTML documents archive

Wed, 17 Feb 1999 04:47:00 -0500 


Ciao "Diggers" !!!

I would like to perform a question to you (probably I've fallen into
UTOPIA, but I ask you too).

I have a directory containing a large number of HTML files not linked
together.

My intention is to create via a C program or a shell, an HTML document
containing the list of references (A HREF="doc_001.htm"). And, of course,
using the "local" digging system.

So far, so OK.

Is it possibile to set any META Tags inside the document and use htsearch
to search a value directly into it. I try to explain myself with an example:

I create an HTML this way:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="FIRST_NAME" CONTENT="XXXXXXX">
<META NAME="DATE_OF_BIRTH" CONTENT="YYYY/MM/DD">
</HEAD>
Text ....

....

</HTML>


Then, after indexed the documents inside the db and have stored this METAs,
use htsearch searching for them by putting the same variable names inside
the form.

For example:

<INPUT TYPE="text" VALUE="" NAME="FIRST_NAME">

I know that probably you are gonna answer to me:

WHY DON'T YOU BUILD A DATABASE and make it searchable via WEB with CGI or
something similar?

And I tell you: "I have no time to do that and if HTDig did it for me ...
well you understand ..."

But if htdig do not do it, don't you think it could be useful ?

Maybe if you know another way to reach the goal, let me know ...

Thanx to all of you
Ciao
Gabriele
