Text to keyword parsing script?

[abracad_1999]

Before I write one, are there any free scripts out there that will take
a string of text and output a list of spearate keywords?

Your specs are incomplete and hard to comprehend.

Please read the posting guidelines for this group to learn how you can
help yourself, and help others help you.

What's a keyword? A Perl keyword? A C keyword? You might get a better
response if you:

1. read the posting guidelines (not painful at all, and very
educational)

2. Specified what you meant by a keyword. I could show you code which
outputs all key words related to pre-denoministic Christianity, or
Celtic paganism, or $other_field_of_endeavour (easily configurable by
reading the keywords one per line from a file, hint hint) but I highly
doubt that that's what you want.

As an aside, you may be able to use the grep utility (available on any
self-respecting POSIX system, also available in a number of forms in the
Perl Power Tools (ppt) package; check your local CPAN archive) instead
of writing something from scratch. Of course, I don't know if this will
work for you, because you haven't mentioned where the text is or what
the keywords are.

If all you want is to split (hinthint) a line into separate words, look
at split and perlre, e.g.

@words = split(/\W+/, $line);
print join("\n", @words);
