Hello. I am having trouble getting a searchable archive to work. I have folders with in folders. Inside each folder contains a folder called year or month depending on which directory you reside in. Inside the month folder is a list of files that I need to be searched. I have 7 years of information that I need to search. I have tried using both the get and post method. I should also mention that I am using personal web sharing 1.5 from apple and after 60 seconds of the search I get a status code 502. Can anyone help me out on this one? #!perl print "Content-type: text/html", "\n\n"; #$query = '1997=on&January=on&search=test'; read (STDIN, $query_string, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}); ($boolean, $YEARS, $MONTH, $input, $search) = split (/=on&/, $query_string); ($inputs, $search_string) = split (/=/, $input); $search_string =~ tr/+/|/; chomp($search_string); chomp($search); $path1 = 'Systems 10 HD:dpcgifolder:test'; opendir(DIR, $path1); @year = readdir(DIR); closedir(DIR); chdir($path1); foreach $years (@year) { open (YEAR, $years); $path2 = join (':', $path1,$years); opendir(DIRRR, $path2); @month = readdir(DIRRR); closedir(DIRRR); chdir($path2); foreach $months (@month) { open (MONTH, $months); #print "$months", "\n"; $path3 = join (':', $path2,$months); opendir(DIRR, $path3); @files = readdir(DIRR); closedir(DIRR); chdir($path3); foreach $file (@files) { open (FILE, $file); #print "$file", "\n"; while ($lists = <FILE>) { if ($lists =~ /$search/i) { push(@file_names,$lists); print "<br><br><hr size=7 color=black>", "\n"; print "<br><br>", "\n"; } } close(FILE); } close(MONTH); } close(YEAR); } print "Content-type: text/html", "\n\n"; print "<HTML>", "\n"; print "<HEAD><TITLE>Search Results</TITLE></HEAD>", "\n"; print "<BODY>", "\n"; print '<body bgcolor="white">'; print "<center><H1>Here are your results for: $query </H1></center>", "\n"; print "@file_names", "/n"; print "</BODY></HTML>"; exit(0); I also wrote a small script that does work. It uses the boolean search or and the user has to input a year and month to search #!perl print "Content-type: text/html", "\n\n"; #$query = '1997=on&January=on&search=test'; #$query_string = $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}; read (STDIN, $query_string, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'}); ($YEARS, $MONTH, $search) = split (/=on&/, $query_string); #($YEARS, $MONTH, $search) = split (/=on&/, $query); ($inputs, $search_string) = split (/=/, $search); $search_string =~ tr/+/|/; #print "$YEARS $MONTH $search_string", "\n"; chomp($search_string); print "<HTML>", "\n"; print "<HEAD><TITLE>Search Results</TITLE></HEAD>", "\n"; print "<BODY>", "\n"; print '<body bgcolor="white">'; print "<center><H1>Here are your results for: $search_string </H1></center>", "\n"; print '<B><div><a href=" ">To return to cgi</a></B><br><br>'; $path1 = 'Systems 10 HD:dpcgifolder:test'; $path2 = join (':', $path1,$YEARS); $path3 = join (':', $path2,$MONTH); opendir(DIR, $path3); @files = readdir(DIR); closedir(DIR); $space = '<br><br><hr><br>'; chdir($path3); foreach $file (@files) { open (FILE, $file); while ($lists = <FILE>) { if ($lists =~ m/$search_string/i) { push(@file_names,$lists); push(@file_names,$space); } } close(FILE); } print "@file_names", "\n"; print "</BODY></HTML>"; exit(0); -- pworkman@dispatch.com == Phil Workman ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
