Xapian discuss - Sep 2004 - How can I get a list of all the document reference numbers from a db?

I had a problem while initially loading my databases.  The system went 
down and when it came back up the db_lock files were still there.  
Scriptindex aborted but my script that was driving it didn't detect that 
situation and removed all the files that were left to still index.  I 
don't really want to start over since I had a few days invested in 
loading the db.  I'd like to get a list of all the documents in the db 
so I can compare to the source and reload just the missing ones.

My index file looks like:

reference : field=url boolean=Q unique=Q
date : field date=unix
stringdate: field index=XC value=1
body :  index
summary : field=sample
title: field index=XT value=2
status: field index=XS
assigned: field index=XA
db: field index=XB value=3

Reference is the field I'd like to extract.

Thanks,
Jim.

Something like this (totally untested) program:

#include <xapian.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
    if (!argv[1]) exit(1);
    Xapian::Database db = Xapian::Auto::open(argv[1]);
    TermIterator t = db.allterms_begin();
    const TermIterator end = db.allterms_end();
    t.skip_to("Q");
    while (t != end) {
	if ((*t)[0] != 'Q') break;
	cout << *t << endl;
	++t;
    }
}

Cheers,
    Olly

Yep, that did it.

Thanks,
Jim.
