any body with ideas to index textfiles with ZCatalog?... what/how can i do #1 with text files? how can i retrun PrincipiaSearchSource? i know how to treturn text, but not how to return it to the script that does the cataloging. i can't think of a way... One option would be to wrap your text file object into a ZClass, that derives from "File" and has a DTML method "PrincipiaSearchSource" with the definition:

<dtml-var this> The other option is to patch "OFS.Image.File" in a HotFix product (--> HowTo on zope.org) and give it a "PrincipiaSearchSource" method, like this: from OFS.Image import File File.PrincipiaSearchSource= File.__str__ If this does not work, the you must also add a security declaration: File.PrincipiaSearchSource__roles__= File.index_html__roles__ This assumes, the viewing the source is protected in the same way than viewing via the Web.
