Post #275,569 by admin 12/12/06 2:25:35 PM Reply	Er, come again? 20 seconds of work to do a one-off, vs. thinking and writing a program to do it the "correct" way. And what's the point of creating an object graph for the entire thing when he wants to change one tag's contents only? I get work done. I don't worry too much about how I get it done unless it actually matters. "flat little world"... Man, talk about your insults out of nowhere.

Post #275,596 by tuberculosis 12/12/06 9:08:52 PM 12/12/06 9:15:23 PM Reply	Eh? I did it in 3 lines. Anyhow, I find it easier to modify data structures than to fiddle text- which is error prone. When the text represents a data structure, like source code or xml, modifying the parse tree is more reliable and, I think, easier. Anyhow, you're taking me way too seriously. :-) [link\|http://www.blackbagops.net\|Black Bag Operations Log] [link\|http://www.objectiveclips.com\|Artificial Intelligence] [link\|http://www.badpage.info/seaside/html\|Scrutinizer] Edited by tuberculosis Dec. 12, 2006, 09:15:23 PM EST Expand All History

Writing a keyboard macro is simple and quick, much quicker than even your 3 lines of code. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
