Hello to all, thanks for this great aid to our efforts here. I enjoy all the conversations, they are very helpful and polite (most of the time, as it should be). My colleague and I have different viewpoints on how to write code that executes string manipulation rules on large alphanumeric input fields. For instance, we wish to produce a string that is the concatenation of a variable (input) string, concatenated to the results of yet another operation that concatenates two other strings (result(A+(B+(C))). This is a general example of quite complex rule sets that will be applied to varying inputs (all strings). The main difference between the two examples is that the first one surrounds a nested operation with <operand> and </operand> tags, while the second does not. Thanks in advance for your time and trouble! (please ignore the coding, etc rules as I'm mixing C++ and XML for brevity): wasting TAG="BBB" wstring XY="XXXYYY" wstring XY="AAABBB" (ignore format of above input variables) ***************Example A. ************************* RESULT = <rule name="A"> <operation name="concatanation"> <operand> TAG </operand> <operand> <operation> <operand> XY </operand> <operand> AB </operand> </operation> </operand> </operation> </rule> OR RESULT = <rule name="A"> <operation name="concatanation"> <operand> TAG </operand> <operation> <operand> XY </operand> <operand> AB </operand> </operation> </operation> </rule> ***********END OF EXAMPLE******************** - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Casey - Sr Engineer NagraStar LLC - an advanced technology joint venture of http://www.NagraVision.com and http://www.Echostar.com http://www.DishNetwork.com 90 Inverness Circle East, Englewood, CO USA 80112 303-706-5710 voice w/mail 303-706-5719 fax w/paper casey@n... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "ESCHEW OBSFUCATION!" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
