[Substitution Strings]: Planning
21.2.
Planning
As shown in
“[Logical Printers 1-8]” [page 151]
, it is easy to tell a
logical printer to use one or more (even all) of the string pairs
defined in [Substitution Strings].
What is difficult is the planning when you want more than one
substitution string to be used. If there is any overlap in the con-
tent of the input strings, you must carefully control the order in
which you enter the string # in the “String Substitutions” field
for the logical printer in question.
Example: You want to use the following substitution strings in
logical printer x, where the input strings encode like this:
Input String 1: trs98
Input String 5: trs98563
Input String 8: 98
Input String 8 is a subset of Input String 1, which in turn is a
subset of Input String 5.
If you want to be sure that everything is interpreted correctly,
you must order your entries in the “String Substitutions” field
like this:
8,1,5
So, if you will be using substitution strings, you should define
what they are to accomplish and number each pair of input and
output strings, and examine them in detail. Do this on paper
before you start entering data in the Intermate1xx.
