Problem re-importing XML files

[Jonathan Melhuish <j....@signal.qinetiq.com>]

I'm currently using Xindice 1.0 (I'm looking to move to 1.1 but I'm 
having problems on that front, too).

I've exported my database to a set of XML files using the command-line 
tool, and performed a little data-processing on it.  I know want to 
re-import my records.  I deleted the "db" folder as it seemed like the 
easiest way to clear out the old records.

I have successfully added my "sne" collection (under which all of the 
records are stored) and the list of collections shows this.  I typed 
"xindice import -c /db -f ./export", and received "Reading files from: 
export", with a slight delay and no errors.  However typing "xindice 
xpath -c /db/sne -q /" still returns no results, and the sne.tbl is 
still only 12K :-(

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

TIA,

Jon

Yay!  I fixed it! :-)

It appears that Xindice doesn't import directory structures(?).  Thus 
this structure:

/export/
/export/sne/
/export/sne/file.xml

Does not get translated to:

/db/
/db/sne
/db/sne/file

Which seems like a bit of a limitation to me, but fortunately it doesn't 
make much odds in my case.

I hope this helps someone!

Cheers,

Jon
