I have been reading the fine jwiki xml entries
contributed by Oleg, Devon, and others, to enable me to read
some game history data I have acquired. But I have not quite
gotten the hang of the coding required, so I am asking for
ideas here. Because the data file [see below] is so strongly
structured with one line for each triplet `<...>...</...>LF`
and each triplet in pairs, and each pair in the same
sequence of 5 pairs, and each such sequence between <dict>
and </dict>, my most recent thought is to abandon most of
the xml and just use nested Cut conjunctions starting
with ;._2 based on trailing LFs.
But before doing any real coding I thought I would
ask hear for thoughts, ideas. An excerpt from the data file
is listed below. The header information uses the term PLIST
which makes me wonder if this is a standard xml format?
Thanks,
