Dear everybody
María Mercedes' question is very important to all users of Isis family,
so I'll give one of the many solutions in my basic English (or
something like this)
Using the <...> to mark terms to be indexed with technique 2, is really
a problem today because it conflicts with html/xml tags
The reason for using this technique goes back to the distant past of
computers (about 30 years), when hard drives were very expensive and
each byte you saved in a record was significant. A 10MB hard disk in the
early 80s could cost a week's wages,
But let us turn to the problem
My personal view (others may say different) is that it is convenient to
convert all fields using <...> for indexing, to repeatable fields.
There are two or three ways to do this using CISIS programs ... surely
you were already suspecting ;-)
Let's take the CDS demo database that comes with the Winisis to explain
the trick
(I hear a scream of Wenke Adam from the other side of the Andes ... but
yes, CDS demo base is very convenient
_Method I_
CDS dbase uses field 69 with keywords enclosed with <...>
69 Paper on: <plant physiology> <moisture> <temperature> <wind>
<measurement and instruments> <ecosystems>
We will replace the chains: *><* and *> < * by the symbol *%*
and we will also remove from the records the begining text: *Paper on:*
for this we need to build a gizmo file
a simple way to make a gizmo file is preparing a simple text file using
notepad and then create the gizmo using mx
Let's create xxx.txt with notepad and write the following lines
*> <|%*
*> <|%*
*> |*
*<|*
*Paper on: |*
give <enter> in the last line, and save it
Note that lines 3 to 5 do not have anything to the right of the symbol *|*
now from the command line of the operating system do the following
*
C:\> mx seq=xxx.txt create=xxx now -all
C:\> mx cds gizmo=xxx,69 create=cds1 now -all tell=10*
Now let's take a look to the field v69, and see the changes
*69 plant physiology%moisture%temperature%wind%measurement and
instruments%ecosystems**
*
Almost there, missing a step
*c:\> mxcp cds1 create=cds2 repeat=%,69 clean*
look now the record
*69 «plant physiology»*
*69 «moisture»*
*69 «temperature»*
*69 «wind»*
*69 «measurement and instruments»*
*69 «ecosystems»*
There are other more sophisticated ways to do the same, but when you
master this procedure ask for the rest
It is highly recommended that you learn to use the tools included in
CISIS package,
Regards
Ernesto Spinak
