$FS = "\xb3"; $FS1 = $FS . "1"; $FS2 = $FS . "2"; $FS3 = $FS . "3"; # read full contents of .db file into $dbfile %Page = split(/$FS1/, $dbfile, -1); %Section = split(/$FS2/, $Page{'text_default'}, -1); %Text = split(/$FS3/, $Section{'data'}, -1); $pagetext = $Text{'text'}; # text of the page

I got this from Clifford Adam's UseMod website. It's highly useful. I'm using it to provide a snippet of each page in the search engine output.

Tomorrow I will use it to fulltext index the entire site. This will be mondo cool.
