Commands

The command above installs the tools of this package to $GOPATH/bin/.

zimserver

Tool for browsing a ZIM file in your webbrowser via an HTTP interface.

Starting a ZIM server at TCP port 8080: zimserver -zim="filename.zim" -port=8080
Browsing the ZIM file via Web Browser is now possible at http://localhost:8080/
The last part of the URL can be used as a basic prefix search by passing the search term after the last / in the URL

zimindex

Tool for creating a full text index of a given ZIM file.

zimsearch

Tool that lists search results for a given ZIM file and text query. If no index file created by zimindex is found, a builtin prefix search is used. Otherwise the index file is used to retrieve search results sorted by score, where the search result can be calculated by union or intersection operation.

zimtext

Tool to extract clean texts from a Wikipedia ZIM file. Each clean HTML paragraph is written on a single line in a text file.

Extracting first 1000 clean texts from a ZIM file: zimtext -zim="filename.zim" -txt="lines.txt" -limit=1000
Extracting all clean texts from a ZIM file: zimtext -zim="filename.zim" -txt="lines.txt"
Extracting first 1000 clean sentences (likely a sentence) from a ZIM file: zimtext -zim="filename.zim" -txt="lines.txt" -limit=1000 -sentences
Extracting all clean sentences (likely a sentence) from a ZIM file: zimtext -zim="filename.zim" -txt="lines.txt" -sentences
If you want to support your language or use-case better, it's recommended to define your own Regular Expression to extract only texts you accept. The RE-Syntax is defined here and can be tested here (select Flavor=Golang).
