mb> That would be no problem. You could still do that with XML.
Really?
- Move an entire line from one hub to the next
- Duplicate a line, change the node number and the phone number on
that line
- Do a general search and controlled replace on the entire file
Just to name a few of what I've done during the last month...
[...]
JV>> And you're incapable of writing a nodelist parser in order to
JV>> obtain an XML database?
mb> Your'e missing the point.
Not impossible, but have you checked your explanations?
mb> But, judgeing by the latest weeks of discussions, the rest of the
mb> community seem to want an old comma-demelited textfile eaven in the
mb> future, so I think we can put this battle on hold (for now). :-)
It is always wise to lean back and reflect for some time ;-))
