Donna, You are correct, "enum" should be "terms". Could you please modify the FAQ? You just have to log into Wiki and edit that page (the edit link is at the bottom).

I have a question about something in the FAQ though. I have a need to get all terms in a specific section of the document; I want to create a database of term vs an identifier of the document containing the term. There is a part of the FAQ which answers this directly, and says: try { TermEnum terms = indexReader.terms(new Term("FIELD-NAME-HERE", "")); while ("FIELD-NAME-HERE".equals(enum.term().field())) { // ... collect enum.term().text() ... if (!terms.next()) break; } } finally { terms.close(); } However, this doesn't compile for me; Is "enum" supposed to be "terms"? Also, the terms.close() statement is outside the scope of terms. I changed to the following, is this correct and should the FAQ be changed? try { TermEnum terms = indexReader.terms(new Term("FIELD-NAME-HERE", "")); while ("FIELD-NAME-HERE".equals( terms.term().field())) { // ... collect enum.term().text() ... String term = terms.term().text(); System.out.println(term); if (!terms.next()) break; } terms.close(); } Thanks, and I hope this isn't a crazy question- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
