From: Lyndon Samson Date: 2005-10-19T09:41:14+09:00 Subject: Ruby Quiz Idea All this fidding with bits in the Thread "How to get non-unique elements from an array" got me digressing to search engines and indexing. So if you have for example Doc1=The quick brown fox Doc2=Jumped over the brown dog Doc3=Cut him to the quick You can build a table with bit number and word. 1 the 2 quick 3 brown 4 fox 5 jumped 6 over 7 dog 8 cut 9 him 10 to 11 quick To create indices Doc1=00000001111 Doc2=00001110101 Doc3=11110000011 You can very quickly return the Docs that contain 'the' [ Doc1,Doc2,Doc3 ], or brown [ Doc1,Doc2 ] etc. The rubyquiz idea would be to write a simple indexer/query system. -- Into RFID? www.rfidnewsupdate.com Simple, fast, news.
