Subject: Help me and help yourself(s) :o)
I need to demo a search program that reduces verbose documents
into a copy of it that only includes the complete lines containing
only singles words and phrases as you choose to be searched for.
A single file is created containing all the lines in the same order
as they appear in the original.
The program simply opens the file, looks at a line and if it contains
any of the words or phrases you made into a list for me to work with,
then that line is written to the output file.
This is just repeated over and over, reading the next lines.
Only text as you are now reading is searched for, as all images
and special formatting stuff editors use like making letters bold
will not be in the results file, just simple lines of text.
All I need is a link to the document, and a list of words and phrases
of interest. No limit to number of search items.
As first try it would be best if anyone selected an article already
posted on this board, and we just do a test to see the results.
