I'm using a simple perl script cgi to talk with glimpse from the web , searching through about 7 Mb of documents. Everything's fine and very fast until you search for silly things like 'the' or 'and'. Because I have to send glimpse the -y flag I can't use the exclude common words feature, hence every file gets grepped.(ahhh) Would anyone know how to intercept glimpse's standrd output , check how much of the filespace is to be searched and then allow it to proceed (or exit) with the appropriate 'yes' or 'no' instead of just using -y? Thanks Paul Walsh. (PS Is there a glimpse forum?) -- paul@nation-net.com Walsh Simmons 0161-839 9337 Manchester, UK
