Asp Forum - websearch) script ?

hello,

Being very satisfied with Python as a general program language,
and having troubles with a number of PHP scripts, moving to another
provider,
I wanted to replace the PHP scripts with Python Scripts.

The most important one is a PHP script that searches text in all
documents on my website.
Does someone has such a script ?

Now in more general,
If I need such a script in PHP or Perl, I can find dozens on the web,
for Python I can not find None ???

Am I mistaken that these kind of tasks can be equally well performed by
Python as PHP or Perl ?
If so, why can't I find all kinds of standard scripts on the web ?
Just curious.

thanks,
Stef Mientki

Text File Searcher : http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Rec...

you'll need to adapt it a bit but you'll get the main idea on how to
do it for your situation

There's some good stuff in Zope for plain-text indexing. I think you
could build from this (IIRC, looking for TextIndexNG should take you at
the right place).

Usually, with Python, you'll find either whole packages - the Python
might be a good start:
packages index http://pypi.pytho...

or receipes in the cookbook http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookb...

Perl can be amazing wrt/ text processing - but it has been specifically
designed for this kind of tasks. But yes, Python is a good fit too for
this kind of tasks - far better than PHP. You may want to read David
Mertz's book on this topic:

What do you call "standard scripts" ? Plain text search is not a simple
task - at least if you want something usable and efficient.

Else, I can't tell for Perl, but the vast majority of PHP scripts you'll
find on the web is just crap.

So he was a fully trained sniper and failed to teach you how to adjust a
scope....your stories just get worse for honesty.

My father NEVER was trained to use a scope while in the military. He was
not a sniper but was issued a standard weapon that did not have a scope.

My brother had a scope on one of his guns. He showed me how to adjust it.

You missed the point. My father was trained to use such a pop-up sight. He
had such a sight on the gun that he used to shoot the chicken hawk. He
would not allow any of his children to use his special gun. He shot many
deer with that rifle.
