The Robot, after I rewrote its algorithm, is running smothly to send Webster explaination of each GRE words to the wiki ( http://kaoshi.wobuxihuan.org).

Here, I briefly explain how this clever Robot runs.
1st, I generated a index file of all 8400 GRE words, ,sorted them, and numbered them from 1 to 8xxx.

2ed, My Robot will get a word from the index, and search it in the GRE red2005 database in order to copy its Chinese explaination.

3rd, the Robot will search this word in a Webster Collegiate database (extremly huge one, the Robot will check 200MB files each time on average), and copy the Webster explaination. However, this prosess may seem very simple and easy, but it, in fact, is extremly complicate, and time-comsuming, because the database of webster is huge and complex, also, it format usually untidy.

4st. the Robot will copy two explaination to another database.

5st. do 2-4 8400 times until all words are passed.

6st. my Robot 2 will connect to the wiki’s mysql(a database) sever, and send the two explaination of each one by one to the wiki.

……. and after several hours….. all things done.
