Hello everyone,

Just some quick questions this time regarding Knowledge Bases :)

First of all, most KBs are now moved into the DB (and served via BibKnowledge). That's great, but are these KBs available to template (.tpl) files used to convert/create record data? Or for that purpose will I have to use flat files? Which tools have access ONLY to flat or DB KBs?

I'm also having some problems understanding the difference between search/match/search (in KB)/search (reciprocal) in the following part of bibconvert admin guide:

{*input_value---output_value*}

KB(file,1) searches the exact value passed.
KB(file,0) searches the KB code inside the value passed.
KB(file,2) as 0 but not case sensitive
KB(file,R) replacements are applied on substrings/characters only.

bibconvert look-up value in KB_file in one of following modes:
===========================================================
1 - case sensitive / match (default)
2 - not case sensitive / search
3 - case sensitive / search
4 - not case sensitive / match
5 - case sensitive / search (in KB)
6 - not case sensitive / search (in KB)
7 - case sensitive / search (reciprocal)
8 - not case sensitive / search (reciprocal)
9 - replace by _DEFAULT_ only
R - not case sensitive / search (reciprocal) replace

If i want to covert between A<->B (and vice versa) and I have a translate.kb containing A---B, will KB(translate.kb,8) will be enough for both-ways translation?

Thanks in advance for your time,
Theodoros
