MFC access to ffastun.ff* files
-
This is probably spelled out someplace obvious, but I sure cannot find it so forgive me if this is too trivial. I have my own file searching tool that looks at the contents of various Office documents. My tool currently uses some simple Perl script and OLE to dump the files in text format and then processes those text files into an index for later use in an MFC program. And, having expended the effort to do that, I find that "Fast Find" does pretty much the same thing, except that it handles more types of files than my program and it creates the indices about 4 times faster! :(( So, what I would like to do is be able to get at the text stored in those index files. These are the ones called ffastun0.ffx, ffastun.ffo, ffastun.ffl, and ffastun.ffa. Somebody must have a C++ class to do this. Or failing that, some example code that can access these files. I looked at the IFilter stuff referenced in the VC++ help, but it is pretty worthless. At least to me. It seemed to be for creating the index, not using the one already made by FindFast. Pointers much appreciated. BTW, I am a COM newbie, so any explanations should use small words. :) Thanks!
