-processbif
Syntax
-processbif 'command_string !*'
Specifies a command string in which you can call a program or script that operates on BIFs generated by Verity Spider.
Due to the use of special characters, which represent the bulk insert file (BIF), run Verity Spider with a command file
using the
-cmdfile option.
For example, if you want to use a script called fix_bif to add customized information to BIF files, use the following
command:
vspider -cmdfile filename
Where filename is the text-only command file that contains the following (along with any other necessary options):
-processbif 'fix_bif !*'
Your command file includes other options as well.
-regexp
Specifies the use of regular expressions rather than the default wildcard expressions for the following options: -
exclude, -indexclude, -include, -indinclude, -skip, -indskip, -preferred, and -nofollow.
Wildcard expressions allow the use of the asterisk (*) for text strings, and the question mark (?) for single characters,
as the following table shows:
Regular expressions allow for more powerful and flexible matching of alphanumeric strings; for example, to match
"ab11" or "ab34" but not "abcd" or "ab11cd," you could use the following regular expression:
^ab[0-9][0-9]$
The full extent to which regular expressions can be employed is beyond the scope of this description.
-submitsize
Syntax
-submitsize num_documents
Specifies the number of documents submitted for indexing at one time. The default value is 128. The upper limit is
64,000.
Wildcard expression Text string
a*t although, attitude, audit
a?t ant, art
file?.htm files.htm, file1.htm, filer.htm
