I think that's a worthwhile consideration for 4.0. In addition I've found it very useful to use err_conv, which I found in the archive, written by Juergen Luethje. It allows one to convert the sequences in the standard ex.err into _either_ numbers or strings, to improve readability e.g.
ex.err:-
vOriginalAddr = { {85'U',78'N',73'I',84'T',32' ',50'2',32' ',53'5',47'/', 54'6',32' ',77'M',79'O',79'O',82'R',71'G',65'A',84'T',69'E',32' ',72'H', 65'A',76'L',76'L'}, {77'M',79'O',79'O',82'R',71'G',65'A',84'T',69'E',32' ', 76'L',79'O',78'N',68'D',79'O',78'N'}, {69'E',67'C',50'2',77'M',32' ',54'6',88'X',66'B'} }
Whereas the err_conv() routine produces to alternative ex.err files with sequences shows as strings in one, and numbers in the other:-
as strings, ex_conv.err:-
vOriginalAddr = { "UNIT 2 5/6 MOORGATE HALL", "MOORGATE LONDON", "EC2M 6XB" }
as numbers, ex_n.err:-
vOriginalAddr = { {85,78,73,84,32,50,32,53,47, 54,32,77,79,79,82,71,65,84,69,32,72, 65,76,76}, {77,79,79,82,71,65,84,69,32, 76,79,78,68,79,78}, {69,67,50,77,32,54,88,66} }
I think that sort of functionality would also be a worthwhile addition to 4.0.
Cheers, Mark
