Hi,

I'm trying to make a string show up like:

Some test bla bla .... and now we carry on, with more keywords...

Basically, the string would look something like:

Some test bla bla. We wanna add some more content in here, just as an example - and now we carry on, with more keywords etc

Here is my current code:

    my $keywords = q|fait une petite St-Laurent|;
    my @keywords = split / /, $keywords;

    $text =~ s|<!--start_tag-->\s*.*?<!--end_tag-->||g; #remove all th
+e citations
    $text =~ s|&lt;|<|g;
    $text =~ s|&gt;|>|g;
    $text =~ s|<\s*.*?>||g; #remove any html
    $text =~ s|\[\s*.*?\]||g; #remove any bbcode tags

    my $strings;

    use Data::Dumper;
    
    my @split = split / /, $text;

    my $number     = 0;
    my $hash_count = 0;
    foreach (@split) {
        $back .= "$_ ";
        if (length($back) >= 250) {
#            print qq|Adding to: \$string->{$number} \n|;        
            $strings->{$number}->{value} = $back;
            $strings->{$number}->{count} = get_word_count_match($back)
+;            
            $back = undef;
            $number++;
        }
    }


    print Dumper($strings);


sub get_word_count_match {

    my $text = $_[0];
    
    my $total_words_found;
    foreach (@keywords) {

        my $count =0;
        $count++ while $text =~ /\Q$_/g;

        $total_words_found = $total_words_found + $count;

    }

    return $total_words_found || 0 ;

}

What this does, is generate a hashref, like so:

user@serverdev admin $ perl test.cgi
$VAR1 = {
          '1' => {
                   'count' => 3,
                   'value' => 'large. La température de l\'eau durant 
+l\'été ne dépasse pas 3 ou 4°c et lorsque le vent se met de la partie
+ vaut mieux être bien habillé...
Cet été, j\'ai fait une petite excursion en kayak de mer dans la régio
+n des Bergeronnes (à l\'Est de Tadoussac). '
                 },
          '0' => {
                   'count' => 2,
                   'value' => '
        Salut Memphre,
Je ne connais pas les dates de fin des excursions pour aller voir les 
+baleines dans le St-Laurent. Mais je ne crois pas qu\'une ballade en 
+bateau au large en octobre soit très agréable. Déjà, durant l\'été, i
+l peut faire très froid au '
                 },
          '2' => {
                   'count' => 0,
                   'value' => 'Nous avons vu plusieurs baleines: rorqu
+als communs, marsouins et bélugas. C\'est vraiment impressionnant de 
+voir les baleines de si près! Entre l\'excursion en bateau ou celle e
+n kayak, je te conseille fortement celle en kayak. L\'expérience est 
+beaucoup '
                 }
        };

Now, this is exactly what I want.

After this, I need to then grab the "phrases" which has the highest value for "count" .. in this case, it would be 1 and 0.

Can anyone suggest to me how I could accomplish this?

I know I could enter the values into a mySQL table, and then do an ORDER BY to get the 2 highest values - but this is going to be run on about 20 strings per page, so I would imagine that would be a little slow (especially seeing as we are doing about 2 million+ page views a week, and about 200,000 searchs =))

TIA!

Andy
