Function strings for XML

neindorff · Dec 01, 2005#12005-12-01T18:50+00:00

Hello,

I have a special problem to exclude some function pattern.

Valid functions:
<attribute name="Font" type="string">
<attribute name="Family" type="string">
...

only
<attribute name="Attribute" type="string">
and
<attribute name="Name" type="string">
are invalid.

My function strings won't exclude them.

/L6"XML" Noquote HTML_LANG Block Comment On =  File Extensions = XML XUL
/Delimiters = ~@$%^&*()+=|\{};"'<> ,
/Function String 1 = "<element name="
/Function String 2 = "<attribute name="

My first test
/Function String 2 = "<attribute name=?[~N]"
was possible for "Name" but all other "N...." like
<attribute name="Number" type="string">
will also be missing.

Please help me! I am not a specialist for regExp.

There is no real solution for your problem. It is not possible to find a string which does not contain a specific word. You can only use a set of find strings, which does include as much as possible.

For example:

/Function String = "<^{attribute^}^{element^} name="[B-MO-Z]*""
/Function String 1 = "<^{attribute^}^{element^} name="N[~a]*""
/Function String 2 = "<^{attribute^}^{element^} name="Na[~m]*""
/Function String 3 = "<^{attribute^}^{element^} name="A[~t]*""
/Function String 4 = "<^{attribute^}^{element^} name="At[~t]*""

finds all which names do not start with "Nam" or "Att". Hopefully this is enough for you.

Hi All,

I have the following function strings defined for XML:

/Function String = "target*name="^([~"]+^)">"
/Function String 1 = "<target name="^([~"]+^)""
/Function String 2 = "taskdef*name="^([~"]+^)">"
/Function String 3 = "<bean id="^([~"]+^)""

The last one is meant for elements like this one:

Code: Select all

	<bean id="chiefExecutiveOfficer"
		  class="..."
		  singleton="...">
	</bean>

My problem is that in my function list I am seeing this:
"chiefExecutiveOffice
instead of this:
chiefExecutiveOfficer

Can anyone let me know what I am doing wrong?

Thank you!

Rob

Hi Rob

I took exactly your example in my wordfile:

Code: Select all

/L20"TEST Wordfile" Escape Char = ^ Noquote File Extensions = TEST TST
/Function String = "target*name="^([~"]+^)">"
/Function String 1 = "<target name="^([~"]+^)""
/Function String 2 = "taskdef*name="^([~"]+^)">"
/Function String 3 = "<bean id="^([~"]+^)""
/C1
bean

and this code:

Code: Select all

<bean id="chiefExecutiveOfficer1"
class="..."
singleton="...">
</bean>


<bean id="chiefExecutiveOfficer2"
class="..."
singleton="...">
</bean>


<bean id="chiefExecutiveOfficer3"
class="..."
singleton="...">
</bean>

was displayed properly in my function list, without " sign

chiefExecutiveOfficer1
chiefExecutiveOfficer2
chiefExecutiveOfficer3

Check it out exactly like I did. Make a new language with only these settings. Is it correct then?

I only can estimate here, sorry

Well, that's strange - even when I made a new language out of it I get the same results!

Which version? I use 11.20a
Did you reduce the example to EXACTLY "my" source?

Why do you not use the simple version?

/Function String = "target*name="^(*^)">"
/Function String 1 = "<target name="^(*^)""
/Function String 2 = "taskdef*name="^(*^)">"
/Function String 3 = "<bean id="^(*^)""
