Hi,
You could try opening the indexWriter with the 3rd arguement as false. The 3rd
arg[] specifies whether a 'new' index has to be created or not. Something like
IndexWriter write = new IndexWriter(INDEX_FILE, new StandardAnalyser(),
false); //Notice the 3rd arguement here
I guess this should solve your problem (In case I did comprehend it correctly).

Hi,
I am sorry, I don't quite understand what you meant by..
IndexWriter.updateDocument(...)
HTH
Let me re-phrase my question:
I need to append to an existing index. Presently, the code is structured
to check for the existing file, and exit if the file exists:
if(INDEX_FILE.exists())
{
System.out.println("Index File exists, remove existing index and
retry");
System.exit(1);
}
IndexWriter write = new IndexWriter(INDEX_FILE, new StandardAnalyser(),
true);
indexDocs(writer, FILE_TO_BE_INDEXED);
writer.optimize()
writer.close();
What files do I need to modify ? And what functions? Can you please
advise.
Thanks,
Nitasha
