168 Chapter 8 Verity Spider

Content Options

-casesen

Details Makes processing case-sensitive by specifying that the spider process

separately keys that differ only in case. Use only for indexing UNIX servers.

-exclude

Syntax: -exclude exp_1 [exp_n] ...

Files, paths and URLs matching the specified expression(s) will not be followed. If

you use backslashes, you must double them so they are properly escaped. For

example:

C:\\test\\docs\\path

You can use wildcard expressions, where the asterisk ( * ) is for text strings and the

question mark ( ? ) is for single characters. For example:

’/my_doc*/year199?’

On Windows NT, you should include double quotes around the argument to protect

the special characters such as (*). On UNIX, you should use single quotes. Note that

this is only required when you run the indexing job from a command line. Quotes are

not necessary within a command file (

-cmdfile).

To use regular expressions, also specify the

-regexp option.

To specify a file, path or URL which you want followed but not indexed, use

-indexclude. For document types, use -mimeexclude instead. For example, specify

-mimeexclude application/pdf rather than

-exclude *.pdf.

Note

When specifying an URL, you must use full, absolute paths using the same format as

appears in the HTML hyperlink. If the link is relative, you must change it to absolute

to use it with -exclude.
