I was thinking about functions that would handle things that were a little
more difficult for repeat loops, such as
-embedded multiple spaces where you are expecting one
-pattern recognition to correct user input, eg
-plurals,
-abbreviations,
-commas vs periods [email and urls ]
We have been addressing such problems with more or less working
solutions in our educational stacks for some time.
I recognized the potential of your flexible approach and appreciate
it. I was going to comment on it in my last post and then somehow left
it out.
Further
Using the Rev 'filter' lines command, as well as matchText,
replaceText, etc
One of the many areas in which I still have to develop my abilities is
surely dealing with Regex expressions. I am working on it.
Any ideas that would help you?
Thanks for the offer, maybe I will come back to that. -
When I said
"At least it is easier to understand and apply than Regex expressions,
especially for
Xtalk novices"
I was more thinking of the students at our institution that I try to
introduce to multimedia programming including using Metacard/Transcript
when I talked of "novices".
You can inspect some of the results of my endeavors on page "Student
Samples" of my website <http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia>.
