Sequences
Bypassing the parser
Several of the sequences I've developed and used over the years do not pass your sequence parser. Some of this, I believe, can be handled by flagging some of the words/phrases as comments. However, some of the sequences have "concepts/formations" that CSDS does not understand. When I get a handle on defining new items, I may be able to deal effectively with this. However, for the present, I would like to import a sequence, as is, and, have CSDS not parse it. I realize that will mean that the formation graphics screen will not be able to be displayed. However, it would be nice to be able to bypass parsing for given sequences. Is this possible?
You can 'ignore parsing' when adding new sequences via two methods:
-
Use 'Sequence | New Sequence [Text]' instead of 'Sequence | New Sequence [Graphics]'.
When the program complains and prompts whether or not to
'Re-edit Sequence XXX-nnn?", press the 'No' button.
-
Via 'Sequence | Import', there is a checkbox entitled
'Ignore Parse Problems'. This option allows you to import
sequences from a variety of different file types.
If you still have parse problems, after commenting out comments (via parentheses), send me the sequence text in a text file, and I'll see if I can modify the parse database to accept the phrases.
