I need to convert a string into an identifier.
Does that string include white-space?
Yes. Original function handles this.
Do your identifiers have to be unique or are you
allowed to create the same identifier for two different input strings?
Same identifier for different input is acceptable.
Earlier I was using the following function:
...
Now, I have to build a name with only containing [A-Za-z0-9] only.
That is very limiting ... the value space for
names in XML includes hyphen and underscore, both
of which would be handy ... are you sure those two characters are not
allowed?
Pretty sure.
cobol-word = [A-Za-z0-9]+ ([\-]+ [A-Za-z0-9]+)*
I hope this gives you some ideas.
In fact conversation itself gave an idea.
If nothing more, I'll build a transliteration static table, which I'll use
to make identifiers.
Thanks.
