RE: [htdig] calling htsearch from a script

[Jim]

You can run htsearch from the command line. I am sure that is what Roger 
meant to say given that he mentioned parsing the return. Since you 
presumably have htsearch installed, you can verify its command line 
functionality by simply typing ./htsearch in the appropriate directory. It 
will prompt you for input. For allowed parameters, try './htsearch -\?' In
case you don't have htsearch handy, the output should look something like
the following.

usage: htsearch [-v][-d][-c configfile] [query_string]
This program is part of ht://Dig 3.1.6
Options:
        -v -d   Verbose mode.  This increases the verbosity of the
                program.  Using more than 2 is probably only useful
                for debugging purposes.  The default verbose mode
                gives a progress on what it is doing and where it is.
        -c configfile
                Use the specified configuration file instead on the
                default.
        query_string    A CGI-style query string can be given as a single
                argument, and is only used if the REQUEST_METHOD environment
                variable is not set.  If no query_string is given, and
                REQUEST_METHOD is not set, htsearch will prompt for the query.

I am running htdig 3.1.6.  Is it possible to call htsearch from within
a
script?  I want to be able to search part of my site but I am not
doing
it directly from an html page.  I have a script that searches various
different sources of information.  One of the sources of information
I
want to search for is part of the web pages on my site. Is there a
way
to call htsearch from a script with appropriate parameters?
thanks for any help.
Since htdig can be called from a command line you can call it this way,
then
it's just a matter of parsing the return.
