Re^2: String parsing

ya unfortunately the order above is completely random...but I think your idea of multiple hashes might do the trick. I'll give it a try.

Thanks!

Hashes will sort out uniqueness independently of how random the input is. The only problem you'll run into is that things like `System_Config` would be split into two (unlike what you seem to want according to your sample), even if you stop splitting after 4 underscores (which is the minimum depth required for getting a separate `L2` entry). So you'd have to invent some additional logic to determine how deep to split...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The logic would be in the displayer. If the hash has one element, join with the parent with an underscore. It works in all the OP's cases.	[reply]
