Hello. I'm new to Xapian and the Search::Xapian package. I am able to create a testing index with the Omega (omindex) package, and can search using the Search::Xapian package example. Now I am playing with a Perl indexer using Search::Xapian. However, I get an Abort error when trying to set_data() in a document object. Here's the script I am using. Any suggestions welcome. #!/usr/bin/perl -w # # test indexer # use Search::Xapian ':all'; use File::Slurp; my $d = 'foodb'; my $db = Search::Xapian::WritableDatabase->new( $d, DB_CREATE_OR_OPEN ) or die "can't create write-able db object: $!\n"; for my $file (@ARGV) { my $buf = read_file( $file ); $buf =~ s,<.+?>,,sg; my @w = split(/\W+/,$buf); print scalar(@w), " words in $file\n"; my $doc = Search::Xapian::Document->new or die "can't create doc object for $file: $!\n"; $doc->set_data("filename: $file") or warn "can't set_data in doc object for $file: $!\n"; my $i = 0; for my $word (@w) { $doc->add_posting( $word, ++$i ) or warn "can't add word: $!\n"; } unless ( $db->add_document( $doc ) ) { warn "failed to add document: $file\n"; } } -- Peter Karman . http://peknet.com/ . peter@peknet.com
