matches displayed per page

["Jonathan Feldman" <jonny@nacvs.org.uk>]

Dear All

I have recently installed webglimpse and am trying to customise the output to fit in with our 
website. One of things i would like to do is to limit the number of matches displayed on any one 
page (as opposed to the number of matches returned). I have webglimpse 1.7.11 with Glimpse 
4.12.5. I have, i think, a non-commercial version as we are a non profit. 

I have looked for a place where i can find the number of matches ( that is the number fo files in 
which there is a match) and use this combined with the number_of_ 
matches_to_be_displayed_per_page to give the user either the next or previous set of matches.

I believe (though i please tell me if i am wrong) that i could use the array @glines to accomplish 
this.

I would like to understand the structure of each line ( i have added a line to webglimpse which 
goes through the array and prints it in set of comments;)

To save you reading through it if you do not want to,  my version is given at the end of this email. 
But has anyone else done limited the matches displayed per page and if os what methods how 
has it been done?

Regards

Jonny

My idea on structure of an @glines element. I think that every match in a file is listed as a 
separate element in the array, giving of course lots of repeats in terms of file names though the 
macthing line for each element will be different.

I think it is this:

[Filename][SPACE][Url][SPACE][Title][SPACE][Date][SPACE][Matching_Line][Line -
Break][$gline[0]]

where $gline[0] is the first element of the array for example we get:
