PROJECT: meta
VERSION: 0.01SYNOPSIS
fortune_import.pl [options]DESCRIPTION
This program will import fortune data into the fortune database. The program has various options to control it's activity. Please consult this manual for the specifics.
How does it do it ? It will read all files in the specified directory which do not match the user provided filter (don't worry about the values - the defaults will do). It the proceeds to parse each file looking for the \n%\n delimiter. If you don't know what I'm talking about take a look at the fortune plain text data files. It them proceeds to put them into the database under the category which is named after the file name that is being parsed. All categories are connected to a root category which is created.
The system has been tested on RedHat. Since file layout is different in different systems you may need ot tweek the paramters to get this script to work.
I'll try and get some numbers here regarding how long does it take to import the full fortune database.
