Hi, Kent's suggestion worked (in fact, I had looked for such a method in other classes of the API -- forgot to look in IndexReader).
It works just as expected :) Thanks again On 6/13/06, Erick Erickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Well, I just tried it (opening an IndexSearcher) and got this exception... java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\blank\segments (The system cannot find the file specified) The directory c:\blank exists, but is empty. So, it seems you can just catch the exception and infer that your admin users aren't doing very well at keeping up <G>. Or you could test for the existence of the sebments file first, up to you. Best Erick
