I'll have to look a bit more into Perl. Perl is more-or-less an interpreted version of C++, right? Would I need to add my own libraries to the server or is there a standard set that comes included in IIS or something?

Is "WordsDocuments" the "cornhole 12 35 98 142 1209" file? Or is that an example of a "Words" table?

Would you run the indexer manually or set it up to run automatically at some specified interval? (I update individual web pages irregularly--sometimes there are several changes and new pages (or removed pages) per day, sometimes nothing is changed for several days.)

I'll have to look that one up.

Breaking up the dictionary into several files is done to make the search faster, yes?

I am guessing that your script is huge. In the past, I have been intimidated by looking at complex examples. I find I learn better by dinking away and building up a script slowly from scratch, learning about how to add each layer of complexity as I go. Thanks, though. I may reconsider if I get stuck.

Yeccch. I do have some experience with Access, but it seems like overkill for what I'm doing. Plus, that requires using VBAccess for scripting, doesn't it?

Do you do murder-for-hire?

Question: I found a rat skelton in my sandwich what should I do with it?

Response: You should eat it. It's a proven fact that eating a fallen predators skeletal bones will provide you with power.

Q - The "rice" you served me is wriggling around on my plate. Is this normal?

A - Yes. We make it mobile so you get the intellectual stimulation of chasing it around before eating it.

Q - A rat the size of a corgi just stole my meatloaf. It didn't get far before falling to the floor and convulsing violently, before finally dying. Should I be upset about this, or grateful?

A - That wasn't a rat. It was one of the company's lawyers. We should probably all be grateful.

Q - Is it possible for me to join the union formed by the fungus growing in your kitchen? It seems to have more lobbying power then mine.

A - Are you fungus? There's your answer.

Boorite (or anyone else familiar with RegEx):

I am working on my search script. I was able to lift some code from someone else that strips out html tags, but I'm not sure how to phrase the RegEx pattern to strip out scripting. Any suggestions? I'm reading stuff about RegExes but having trouble making it work.

The pattern I'm using to strip html tags is "]*>". How do I alter that to strip ""?

(Obviously, I would strip the scripting before the other html tags.)

---
"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

I think I figured it out. I tried "" and it seems to work. I finally realized that the expression in the middle ("[^~]") needed to exclude any character that might be found in a script. At least that's what I think I figured out.

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

I have a general programming question. I noticed that in example ASP/VBScript code, they all end with emptying the objects (e.g. "set regEx = nothing"). I understand (I think) that this is done to free up the memory that was being taken up by that object. Is it also a good idea to empty arrays if you're not sending them to another page?

---
"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

This all sounds far too complicated. Here's what I did at work today. I'm also working on a Flash based version of Connect 4. They really should keep a closer eye on me.

Vulgarity is simply the conduct of others. -Oscar Wilde

The statement I always used for stripping out HTML tags was:

$whatever =~ s///gs;

It might not work in all cases. I forget why.

Anyway, if you leave out the ?, you get "greedy" pattern matching: The pattern would be the first and everything in between. The substitution would be performed on practically the entire document. The ? makes it non-greedy: the match is everything between the .

g = global

s = treat whole string as a single line, IIRC-- something like that.

Similarly, to strip out scripting, I would go:

$whatever =~ s///gis;

Note that I had to "escape" the / in '/script' using a backslash.

i = ignore case

Don't worry too much about freeing up memory unless you're using megs and megs and megs of it (or unless you're working on an old Timex/Sinclair).

What others say about boorite!

I wouldn't go so far as to say that I 'get' to. But I do. And I actually think I'll be keeping my job when I move but doing it from home instead of the office. Yahoo!
