using lucene to search in a 1 huge file. (aka grep -n)

Hi guys, I am relatively new to Lucene. Can lucene be used to speed-up search for a string in one huge file( ~ TerraBytes ) based on its libe numbers. Something like grep -n pattern filename where the indexing will be done only on one file and based on either line-numbers/blocks. prasen

In order for this to make sense, you would have to split your huge file into either lines or blocks, whichever you want to be your indexing and search/hit unit, and convert those to Lucene Documents, which you would then index. Searching would then return the line/block where matches are found.
