I have been trying to use the dbm libraries provided on my
system to index a file, but since documentaion is sketchy
at best, I thought I'd give it try here.
For starters, I am on a 4.2BSD box.
I have been able to write a quick index and search problem
using the library libndbm.a. The problem is that what I
want to do is search for a key and have EVERY occurrance of
that key printed. I am trying to index text, where the key
is a word and its contents is the sentence the word occurs in.
For example, I search for the word "the" (now I really wouldn't
do that, but this is an example). I would like every sentence
that the word "the" occurs in to be printed. Right now, all
I get is the first occurance and that is it. I have even dumped
out all the keys in the db and notice that keys only appear once,
even if the word occurs 100 times in the text that I indexed.
I anyone can help me, I'd be appreciative. We can continue
via e-mail.
