2099.0. "Alphabetical directory listing" by FOUNDR::DODIER (Single Income, Clan'o Kids) Fri Feb 02 1996 16:20

    	Going with the idea that we want to try and organize this file in
    the same manner a book is layed out, I come up with a quick way to
    produce a title sorted list.
    
    	The initial thought is that this list can be used by the moderators
    to help fine tune the location of similar topics. I figured I'd add the
    output (SORT.TXT) as the next reply in case anyone else wanted it. 
    
    NOTE: Hit Next Unseen if you don't want to see an alphabetical
    directory listing.
    
    	I also included what I used to get this list if anyone is interested.
    I don't have a lot of time to spend on this, so please excuse the 
    simplistic non-commented command files. To get this list, I first 
    do a Notes> DIR/OUT=HW_DIR.TXT 1-L. I then execute @SORT.COM from the 
    directory that has the HW_DIR.TXT file created above.
    
    	SORT.COM simply looks like so -
    
$ @sort_file/out=pre_sort.txt
$ sort/key=(POS:14,SIZ:20) pre_sort.txt sort.txt
$ pu
$ exit

    	This obviously calls SORT_FILE.COM which looks like -
    
$ on control then goto done
$ open/read infile hw_dir.txt
$!
$ loop:
$ read/end=done infile line
$ note_number = f$extract(0,6,line)
$ if note_number .nes. "     1" then goto loop
$ length=f$length(line)
$ title=f$extract(48,length,line)
$ write sys$output "Note # ''note_number' ''title'"
$!
$
$ loop1:
$ read/end=done infile line
$ length = f$length(line)
$ note_number = f$extract(0,6,line)
$ title = f$extract(48,length,line)
$ title_chk = f$extract(0,5,title)
$ if title_chk .eqs. "-----" .or. -
        title_chk .eqs. "_____" .or. -
        title_chk .eqs. "saved" 
$ then goto loop1
$ endif
$ write sys$output "Note # ''note_number' ''title'"
$ goto loop1
$!
$ done:
$ close infile
$ exit

You might try to find a way to use the old KWIC system.
KWIC stands for Key Word in Context.  It alphabetizes by all the major words
in a title and aligns them so you can find them in their title context.
Suppose you had a title like "Kitchen Plumbing Contracting Costs."
Parallel listings for "Bathroom Plumbing Contracting Costs,"
"Kitchen Tiling Contracting Costs," "Bathroom Tiling Contracting Costs,"
and "Roof Vent Contractors" would intersperse into a list
of the form:

The lists can get long, but they are full of built in keywords,
and you can start your search in lots of places.
I don't know of a tool that will fully automate the job, but there must be
some - the methodology is decades in old in computers, and probably
predates automation entriely.

2099.6Thanks for the inputFOUNDR::DODIERSingle Income, Clan'o KidsTue Feb 06 1996 16:425
    	Nope, don't have one. What I was hoping to do was to keep it fairly
    simple. Unfortunately, this is a mostly manual task. Hopefully though,
    once organized, it will be well worth it. It's not too far off now.
