Hey David,
While not a complete answer to your problem I wonder if this might be of help to
you...
http://blogs.msdn.com/the1/archive/2004/03/29/102123.aspx
This is a coding challenge called "Phraser" put up by Zhanyong Wan whom if you
are not already familiar with comes from the Haskell school of thought (his
dissertation for his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Yale was "Functional
Reactive Programming for Real-Time Reactive Systems".
The Challenge:
In his words... "Your task is to write a program that finds all possible ways to
phrase a phone number. By "phrase" I mean using a mixture of numbers and
English words to spell out the number. For example, the number 642-394-6369 can
be phrased as nice-window, nice-wind-ox, nice-win-fox, nice-9-in-fox, etc."
He created his recursive solution using Haskell and I wonder if his
functional-programming-based algorithm (he writes a fantastic explanation
regarding the thought process behind his solution) might help you solve the
problem you are running into.
I've been meaning to attempt an XSLT solution to his challenge and if I can ever
find the time I will most definitely make an attempt... None-the-less, thats of
know help to you now! :) But maybe this is close enough to your issue that it
may be of some use...
HTH's!
Best regards,
<M:D/>

Problem:
I have xml looking like
<record>19/08/1992 09:08 111938 500014.08b</record>
Of interest is the last field, the dos file name.
Its general form is
nnnnnn.nnA n=int, A =A-Z.
I can use the analyze-string to parse this (mostly),
I'm missing a processing model to take care of exceptions.
E.g. xxx.01a is a particular (valid form).
On occasions someone has misnamed the file xxx.ola using o instead
of 0 letter l instead of 1.
I'm missing the nest of cases: My code is shown below.
What's the logic to posively select all the known/valid combinations
are exhausted?
I want to add some form of error markup to identify these rogues.
Valid options include, for regex-group(5)
nnb
nnm
nnl
nnf
lab
TIA, regards DaveP
