I emailed the following last November, but I don't recall receiving any 
feedback.

Does anyone have a tool for automaticlly adding index entries for LyX? I 
thought there was a ruby script, but I can't find it now.

I already have the list of terms to index. I don't want to manually as 
this list has a few hundred terms. (The book documents a software that has 
many options.) I can manually clean up after faster than I can insert 
manually.

Subject: auto indexing?

I am attempting to index a 125 page (or so) book that documents around 320 
commands.

I am attempting to use the sed and awk scripts from 
http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/lyx-automatic-index-generation.html

The first script, sedscr_list_index_items, I downloaded had two bugs -- 
white space at end of #! line and a space in the expressiion after 
end_inset.

I removed those and it seemed to work.

The sedscr_delete_index_items and the awkscr_create_index_items scripts 
both appeared to work.

Although I decided to create my own index items list (with semicolons at 
end of each line).

The awkscr_insert_index_items does nothing for me. It returns in a few 
seconds. I using nawk version 20050424. I also tried GNU Awk 3.1.5.

Any suggestions?

Looking closer I now see the awk script is for older LyX format.

I can update it ... but before I do, does anyone have an updated or 
different auto-indexer to try?

Thanks,

Jeremy C. Reed
