I've thought about the current showstopper--that some OSes have a finite length to regexps. This of course causes problems if there's too many items in the indexing limits, etc. It was proposed that there be an HtRegexList to store multiple regexp. This seems like it might be a nasty performance drain since you'd have to check through all of the patterns to exclude something. I don't see any great "compiling" techniques that can be used in the StringList class. On the other hand, if we have a self-organizing list, it might be a bit faster--if a pattern causes a hit, it jumps towards the start of the line. This doesn't incur much overhead and hopefully the patterns that are hit the most end up towards the front. If this sounds OK, I'll see what I can do about implementing it this weekend. -Geoff ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the htdig3-dev mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You will receive a message to confirm this.
