Great, seems like the same matching mechanism that works when selecting a user in the member field when doing a search, only there you can forgo the '@'. This mechanism also works with partial matching: @T-

drhowarddrfine astyle Erichans Like this? :) Thanks for the tip. I know about the at but i seem to forget the implementation of it. oops! sorry 'bout that.

today i found tesseract package. woo-hoo! I like this program. I use it for various OCR tasks that cost too much time to type by hand. For example, video game boxes and manuals. Which reminds me, i noticed an old thread here in the forums with a member named byuu. I believe that this was the person that made Higan snes emulator and scanned all of the snes boxes. I guess that he passed away a few years ago. It would've been nice to thank him for the scans. I have used tesseract to read the back text from these box scans from byuu. Tesseract is a fantastic tool! I use it especially for the Japanese text on the snes JP boxes. I'm happy to have tesseract for FreeBSD.

I also found fontforge package, which is also a nice addition to FreeBSD. I'm starting to replace alot of my useful Windows programs with FreeBSD versions. Very nice to find these packages...
 
astyle I don't use the port, so i do not know the degree of dependencies. The package only has 53 files and that includes the single training data package. The data package is over 400Mb and the rest is merely 68Mb. I have it installed in both of my laptops. I use it whenever i want to convert text in images to editable text. I suppose an advanced copy and paste method.

I've seen websites trying to profit from tesseract. Website marketing ocr tool then pay after 10 uses. LOL. I always tell people to just download tesseract and do it yourself :)
 
as a final note regarding the offline packages: i have successfully copied apache, mysql and php. I have also successfully installed these packages and their dependencies offline, which makes me happy. I have successfully tested php and apache.

I wrote a basic php script to test functionality (echo something about FreeBSD, then run a shell command, format the output of the shell command, then display the formatted output, in this case, ls -la).

Thank you for helping me with this subject. Much appreciated. I consider this topic to be solved.
