Hello,
2010/4/1 Chris Watkins chriswaterguy@appropedia.org:
I want to generate a list of matches for a search, but not do anything to the page.
E.g. I want to list all pages that contain "redirect[[:Category", but I don't want to modify the pages.
List pages? That's a job for pagegenerators.py
python pagegenerators.py -search[.....]
But honestly Chris, as I wrote before, you should try to learn Python. It's not this hard :) The time required to write a 3 lines long code snippet yielding all pages matching a Mediawiki search (2 minutes) should be about 500 times shorter than the average latency of this mailing list:
from pagegenerators import SearchPageGenerator for page in SearchPageGenerator("my query"): print page
I haven't been coding with pywikipedia for months, this code is provided without any guarantee. But you get the simplicity of the operation I guess :)
Best regards, Nicolas.
I guess that it's possible to modify redirect.py (I don't speak python, but it shouldn't be hard) and run it with -log. But maybe there's a simpler way?
Thanks in advance.
