Re^2: Set Notation Handling

Hrmm, might wanna check the link to know what I meant by "set". I am more talking like I have a Golden Image definition tool, that has an input of type text in html that needs to have a set way to have ranges and values typed in for validation purposes. Set notation being like [0,5000) for a way to say "all values from 0 up to but not including 5000."

I have a major in math - I know what you were talking about. Try using a hash before declaring it unusable. Remember - you're building a data structure against which to compare items. So, memory is not a major issue for this tool. Thus, translation of `[0,5000)` is very simple - `my %x; $x{$_} = 1 for 0 .. 5000-1;` Frankly, I think you haven't fully described what it is you're trying to build. You describe an auditing tool for 250M transactions/day in your original post, but now you want to have the auditing criteria be input via a webform. Those aren't very compatible. Auditing tools really should be auditing against the specifications. If your specifications are determined by inputs into a webform, then nothing can help you. Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence. Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

The "Golden Image" i speak of is user defined. By engineers tweaking parameter setting to find the best value, and then deciding what this parameter should be optimally set to. They then input this into my tool, and my backend tools that gather the snapshots of the markets, check these returned values against the user defined golden image.
