Sounds like the best procedure would just be to keep an index of all the filenames and update it when files are added/removed (assuming you have control over both of these processes). A simple database should be able to handle this easily, which is pretty much what you suggested yourself. In fact it looks so simple that a Berkeley DB file would do it, without needing all the fancy DB machinery or MySQL or Postgres. See for example "man DB_File". poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
