<p>A database system for text files is employed which comprises a compiler (210) which receives as input a description of the source file types or languages and search filter (200) and outputs a tag set definition file and filter file (220) to be used by the browsing mechanism (325). The tags set definition file is input to the database builder mechanism (230) and is used by the database builder to select and translate the information from the input source file (240) to a database component file (260). Thus, by providing a description of the source file type, any type of source file in any language can be input to the database system of the present invention to generate a database component file which may be subsequently reviewed and searched by the same browsing mechanism.</p> |
