Yes, 3.1.6 should be able to handle a 3.1.4 database without any difficulty. 3.1.6 also includes an htdump utility to extract the whole document database as an ASCII file. You could probably fairly easily extract the list of URLs from the db.docs file produced by htdump, using an awk/sed/perl script. See http://www.htdig.org/ for all ht://Dig documentation, including syntax for individual commands. See the documentation for awk, sed or Perl for information about how you could use one of these to strip out the URLs from db.docs. Something like "sed -n 's/^.* u:\([^ ]*\) .*/\1/p' db.docs" would probably do it, where the spaces in the s/// command are actually tab characters. -- Gilles R.
