Thank you. Yes, your comment about the server side actions ( ... have access to content through a table and not through a file system ) makes it clearer. At some point of time, you would need that data (the text content) in memory anyways (as a CAS table) so I now realize that there isn't much to be gained (apart from a small convenience) from what I originally wished for. One alternative (if I want to be stubborn) is to probably make use of the python-swat package, start with a file containing location of documents , and have a python program carry out the work of collect the required text from all mentioned documents, and load it to a CAS table. Or a SAS program which does the same thing. Thanks again. Sundar
