Hi everyone,
here's what I need to do...
I'm working on a windows application with c#
I have a table with a list of keywords.
The user will be selecting a word document from his computer.
Once the document has been selected, I want to search the document for the keywords I have in another table.
Once I find a key word, I want to add it to a list and start looking for the next keyword.
But if I don't find the keyword till the end of the page, I want to look for the next one without making further changes to the list.
I need to find a way to go through the .doc file or .txt file and search them for these keywords...
thanks in advance,
ditti

Have you looked into the StreamReader object? I think this would help you accomplish what you want to do.

A txt filA plain text file will be simple to search through, however a .Doc file is normally filled with special characters denoting formatting, some of which could possibly be splitting up your words.
The RichTextBox *might* be able to help you with it, but I think it only does rtf and not outright .doc files.
thanks, I'll try looking into streamreader,
a little code would be helpful though
Also is there anyway, I can convert a doc file into a text file?
When I try to access it, it takes too long, that kind of lag would not really be acceptable.
so here's what I'm thinking of doing then
1) get path of word file required.
2) copy contents as plain text to a .txt file
3) loop though the text file for every keyword in the database.
4) store keywords found in a string
I got the first part done, I can get the user to browse the machine for the word file, so I can get the file and pick up the path
I need help with the other parts, I'm still searching the web for that though.

Hello
I am developing a web application that uses full text searching quite
extensively. This is ideal where I am searching a large number of
large varchar fields for a set of key words.
My problem is that each user on the site has a number of keywords in
the database (approx 200000 users) and when I add a new item with the
large varchar field I need to match all users who's keywords are found
within the varchar text.

I'm working with java and XML documents in order to search for keywords in a
given element name, eg element name 'author' == "jo blogs".
The problem is the XML documents are downloaded (this process is automated)
from different websites thus the element names for author may differ!
Is their a way of dealing with this, such as perhaps a standard adopted by,
say educational websites to agree on element names ?
Thanks very much

Hello,
I definitely have a problem to build a clean data structure. I would be
very happy if some of you could help me as well as in the past.
Here is my problem:
-> I have a list of keywords.
-> I would like to link each keyword with a string.
-> I should be able to access the string of a given keyword via that
keyword.

When more than one keyword is typed into a search-query, most of the
search-results displayed indicate specified keywords scattered
throughout an entire website of content i.e., this is shown as three
bolded periods '...' in search-result listings.
Additionally, most content is outdated; as many users need up-to-date
content. Hence, filtering-through search-results becomes quite
cumbersome.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
