Hi guys, I've been noticing more and more that antiword has trouble with many word documents. It may look like it's converted a document but leaves out headings and bits of text. I've been looking into getting openoffice to do it in headless mode but still have a way to go before it's stable. I was wondering if anyone else had any luck on this front? One quick fix I have found

Anyone got a preferred program or package for this? I'd like a *good* one, and Word or OO.o's save as html in no way qualifies as other than amateur crap. So far, with a little googling, I've found the wv package. wvHtml works, but I don't like the output - it insists on <div>, and on &rhquo instead of plain, simple ". mark "what, ask for an opinion in

Hi, One of the AAF features is to be able to index results of methods, but I haven''t seen anywhere how to do this. I have a method that returns the full text of a file and I''d like for this to be indexed. Can anyone out there help me out on this one? Tom -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

A client of mine has a ton of data stored in Excel spreadsheets. I''m building a web application for her (backed by a real db of course) and want to import all that data. Is there a library available to read data from Excel? Is there an easy way to upload the spreadsheets and then read the data? Thanks, Ken Kousen -- Kenneth A. Kousen, Ph.D. President Kousen IT, Inc.

I gather from reading the back-issues of r-help that it should be possible (modulo a number of caveats) to read an excel (yuck!) file into R using RODBC. I have obtained and installed ODBC and the RODBC package, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to go about it. Can anyone give me a simple recipe? I have an excel file on cdrom, say: /mnt/cdrom/melvin.xls I have started R and loaded

Your surest bet is to look into S+, not R, since the former does 'integrate' with Microsoft applications. To what extent, I don' know. This is a desirable feature (IMO) and a reason to use S+ rather then R (already discussed in different thread).

Hi all, Am having problems using RDig: With this rdig config... cfg.crawler.start_urls = [''http://www.defensetech.org''] cfg.crawler.include_hosts = [''www.defensetech.org''] cfg.index.path = ''/my/path/to/index'' cfg.verbose = true ...I get this output: $ rdig -c config/rdig_config.rb /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/ferret/index/term.rb:45:

I have a site with two indexes. Index A is created offline by RDig and queried from the web via RDig (specifically, RDig.searcher.search). Index B is managed by AAF with :remote => true. Simple enough. However, I need to query both indexes from RDig. Usually this is ok, as I modified RDig to accept an array of search_paths with an element for index A and index B. However, when Index

I''m developing locally on Windows and I have a remote dev box that runs Linux. I''m trying to use RDig just to index using urls, no files. Both use acts_as_ferret for an administrative search that works fine. On the Windows machine, I get no errors, but get no results. On the Linux machine, I get: File Not Found Error occured at <except.c>:93 in xraise Error occured in

Hello everyone, I am writing an application which collects a set of web sites and caches them locally for offline viewing. I want to do searches on this collection and associate extra data with each result (e.g date collected, reason for collection, perhaps a sequence number). Now all this data exists when the harvesting is done and could be stored in a database. I want to use RDig to index my

Lucene has a syntax "foo bar"~10 for finding foo within 10 words of bar. Does ferret support this feature? (the ~ is used for fuzzy queries) Does rdig? This could be a deal breaker for me ''cos I really need proximity searches -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I was optimizing a 650MB using ferret (0.11.3) and I received the following error. I''ve seen some people have similar issues but I haven''t seen any resolutions. The contents of the index directory follow the error. Has anyone seen anything like this and found a resolution? Many thanks. /mnt/apps/search/releases/20070622175637/script/../config/../vendor/

Hi All, I have to have a site wide search for my current application. By search I mean I have to search the static and the dynamic contents from the database. I have been searching on this for a while on the net and RDig seems to be a apt solution. While using it I have encountered a few problems. I know these might be very basic issues but I have not been able to figure out what is wrong with

Hi! RDig is a small tool to build a Ferret index for the contents of a website or intranet. It contains a simple HTTP crawler and some support for extracting textual content from the fetched pages. I built this to implement a site-wide search for a recent project that combined a Rails application with lots of static html files generated by a CMS. Any feedback is very welcome! Rubyforge

Hey there, I''m building a rails site using RDig as a site-wide search. I would like to be able to add just one URL (or possibly a list) to an existing index, so that when certain pages change I can update the index without reindexing the entire site. I looked through the documentation and didn''t see an example on how to do this so I am looking for some guidance here :). Is
