Indexing DOC with VBA

Hi all,

Here is my projet:
- Intranet with more than 200000 WORD documents.
- PHP interface (Easy-PHP) + phpDIG

DESCRIPTION

Problems:
1- Catdoc doesn't work fine with me, especially with various Word formats and accents
2- I do not index a web site but also a directory subtree. Each subdir contains 3000 files.

Solutions:
1a- I use Word instead of Catdoc to extract the text objects and store them into text files, with a VBA script.
1b- I had to modify the code to replace file.txt by .doc with the links
1c- the VBA script generates an index.html file linking all text extractions used by the spider.

2- I had to modify some constants to make the spider accept a number of files in Level 1 more than 200000

Performance:
1- the VBA text extractor takes roughly 2s per file
2- I used a 2x512Mo RAM to index the base. It took me more than 250 work hours.

The indexing time results are:
File number / Time (s)
1000 0,5
100000 4
150000 6
200000 10

THE VBA SCRIPT

Works better than catdoc but I don't warranty it for your purpose !

The aim of this script is to extract text objects from DOC files. Each directory contains a certain number of files. For instance, you can have "C:\DATA\shelf01, C:\DATA\shelf02, ..." with every directory containing 3000 files.
For each DOC file is created a TXT file.
In each directory is created a index.html file containing links to the extractions.

Microsoft does not recommend the use of Office to automate processes, because of the conversational requests (a dialog box asking you for something). You have to look at you computer to watch if it is suspended. In my db it appended twice. If it occurs, just have to shut down WORD by clicking on the cross.

The script takes care of password protected and rights of the files. Any protected file will not be indexed.

The script is partially fault tolerant, i.e., if the program crashes, you just have to relaunch it. It will start at the beginning of the current directory.
