Pattern Variables

Post by jneasy »

Hi,

Does anybody know if in the Quality Stage PAT file if a Pattern can be generated from a variable?

essentially I want to do the following;

[ temp ! = "" ]
PATTERN temp --> temp_pat

I know that PATTERN only works on active tokens but the problem is I have already retyped them to 0.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Cheers,
Joe.

How about copying them before retyping to the null class, then working with the copy? I assume that's why you're asking about using a variable. (It's something I haven't tried to do, so can't offer definitive advice. Why not try it?)
