Hello:

Running database driven search system. Right now, I'm testing the search function.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Fcntl; use DBI; use File::Basename; use Text::English; #input Words print "Give a list of words:\n\n"; my $query = <STDIN>; my @words = split /\s*(,|\s+)/, $query; #File Type: print "Give a file type (email, article):\n\n"; my $type = <STDIN>; my %paths = search(\@words, $type); for my $val (keys %paths) { my $file = $paths{$val}; print "$file \n"; } sub search { my($words, $type) = @_; my($dbh, $sth1, $sth2, $rule_append, $word, $file_index); my %matches; #Database Connection: $dbh = DBI->connect( "DBI:mysql:host=localhost;database=testd +b", "testuser", "testpass", {PrintError=>0,RaiseError= +>1}); #Establish Rules for file type: CASE: { if(type == 'email') { $rule_append = "where filetype = 'email' "; last CASE; } if(type == 'article') { $rule_append = "where filetype = 'article' "; last CASE; } $rule_append = "where filetype = 'article' OR filetype + = 'email' "; }#End of Rule foreach $word(@$words) { my $match; my $stem = Text::English::stem($word); #round 1: Find all file pertaining to word. my $statement1 = "SELECT files FROM catalog WHERE word +s LIKE %".$stem."%"; $sth1 = $dbh -> prepare($statement1); $sth1 -> execute(); while(my @val = $sth1 -> fetchrow_array()) { $match = $val[0] #Get List of files. #Parse Files and Check for matches within. my (@poss) = split(/:/, $match); foreach $file_index(@poss) { $sth2 = $dbh ->prepare("select filenam +e, type from library where filename + = $file_index and".$rule_app +end); $sth2 -> execute(); if(my @val2 = $sth2->fetchrow_array()) { $matches{$val2[0]} = $val2[1] +; } } # All Relevant Files found. }# Cycle through all possible matches. } #End of word search loop return(%matches); #$dbh -> disconnect; }#End of search Function

here is are the errors:

syntax error at search.pl line 77, near "my " Global symbol "@poss" requires explicit package name at search.pl line + 77. Global symbol "@poss" requires explicit package name at search.pl line + 78. Execution of search.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Any suggestion? - Cappa

GrandFather removed tr tags and readmore tags added
