Questions: 

I am attempting to index all the .html files on my site.  This includes all .html files in user directories as well.  I am using build_index.exe to create the database files and query.exe to submit the query.  I am using a modification of wwwindexform.com
 which comes with the build_index/query package.  My problem lies in translating the paths.  I want to be able to take what query.exe gives me, extract the username from the path and translate it this way.  However, I can't figure out how to do this.  I h
ave tried, for example:
$ If f$locate("/~",WWW_PATH_INFO) .eq. 0
but it doesn't recognize www_path_info.  Can you help?  Is there a better way to index a site?

Thanks,

-Amartey

	The build_index/query package is not a component of OpenVMS. You will want to check with the folks that are familiar with and are supporting these tools at your site for assistance. Without examples of the output from the build_index/query tools, and without further information on the desired output (results), it is exceedingly difficult to make any suggestions. In the specific example mentioned, WWW_PATH_INFO is assumed to be a DCL symbol. You will want to determine the context(s) in which this symbol is valid. Information on DCL programming is available in the OpenVMS User's Guide, the DCL Dictionary, and in the Digital Press `Writing Real Programs in DCL' book. PERL is also available for OpenVMS. See the Freeware CD-ROM or the Internet Products Suite CD-ROM for the distribution.
