 Topic: Searching a Flat File
Posted: 24 February 2005 at 12:56pm |
My website, WolfWeb.zero is made using a flat file system. My flat file system works on one page of ASP that is split up using
if Request.querystring("page") = "thisPage" then
Now, I want to be able to search the file for something and then make the search return the page of the right querystring.
So if the search is "blogs" then it finds a piece of text in a page under the request (ie ("page") = "blogs") and so it returns the URL http://www.wolfweb.co.uk/?page=blogs.
My site also runs of a Access backend, so that the blogs, say, are placed dynamically in the page (just like the Journal on WWG) so the search field needs to be able to do that.
So, using that rough guide as to what I want, can anybody help?
Cheers!

Let me see if I get you ... you want to enter some thing and have it come up with that as a querystring ? So if a user enters blogs you want it to go to ?page=blogs ????
If that is the case, its relatively simple to do.

Assuming you've loaded your file into a string called strFileText something like this should work...
strStartPos = strStartFoundWordPos - strLength
strLength = strLength + Len(request.querystring("page"))
StrURL = mid(strFileText,strStartPos,strLength)
I'm not sure about what else you're trying to do with the access db - e.g. where/when are you going after it after you pull a url.

Well, here's the code to load up a page.
<% if Request.querystring("page") = "thisPage" then %>
This is page 1
<% end if
if Request.querystring("page") = "newPage" then %>
This is a new page
<% end if %>

or you can uise the elseif command and use
<% if Request.querystring("page") = "thisPage" then %>
This is page 1
<%
elseif Request.querystring("page") = "newPage" then %>
This is a new page
<% end if %>

<% if Request.querystring("page") <> "ThisPage" then
strStartPos = strStartFoundWordPos - strLength
strLength = strLength + Len(request.querystring("page"))
StrURL = mid(strFileText,strStartPos,strLength)
Server.Transfer(StrURL)
end if %>
With the above code, if it's not asking for ThisPage, it will pull the proper page info, buld the url, and transfer control to that url.

I'm not picking up how to do this... I rather not put my page in the
form of a string, but outside the ASP area. So simple XHTML.
But will this actully search my site (or flat file) for a certain word
and then pull up the page? Not just if the word is in the querystring.
(I'm still fairly new to ASP so forgive me!)

No, I thought you had the words and associated links all in one file so reading it into a string wasn't a big deal.
If you want to search the contents of all files on your site you'll need a more expansive script. Check aspin.com or one of the other script sites for a search script.
Frontpage also has a search component.
