>> Why the requirement of single filter? <<
 
Clarity? It's easier for me to follow a logic, if it's enclosed in a SINGLE
source document (= filter).
 
If the logical is spread over multiple source documents, I have to first
scour the Global.CFG to see which filters are active, then inspect each one
to see if by chance any one of them might have any effect.

WEIGHT?



Why the requirement of single filter?

 

I have different combo filters created like this:

 

ComboFilterA

REM If testa and testb fail, and if testc or testd fail, add 10

ENDONFIRSTHIT

TESTSFAILED END NOTCONTAINS testa

TESTSFAILED END NOTCONTAINS testb

TESTSFAILED 10 CONTAINS testc

TESTSFAILED 10 CONTAINS testd

 

ComboFilterB

REM If testc and testd fail, and if teste or testf fail, add 20

ENDONFIRSTHIT

TESTSFAILED END NOTCONTAINS testc

TESTSFAILED END NOTCONTAINS testd

TESTSFAILED 10 CONTAINS teste

TESTSFAILED 10 CONTAINS testf

 

IMHO, that is a much cleaner and neater way to do it. You could also use
MAXWEIGHT instead of ENDONFIRSTHIT and then assign different weights to
different test.

Hi John,

 

>> Was never changed. <<

 

Please read the URL I posted:

http://www.mail-archive.com/declude.junkmail@declude.com/msg14009.html

 

As you can tell, ORIGINALLY it did return the weight. He was thinking of it
even FAILING the test (if there was a weight).

 

>> What you should have been using is MAXWEIGHT at the top, or
STOPATFIRSTHIT. <<

 

Kindly, please read the sample I had posted (bottom of this message). Your
reply doesn't address the issue of trying to make some sections of a test
conditional. Example, the goal is to return either 1 or 2 or 3 if test1 or
test2 occur with test3 - and to only add test4 and test5, if test3 is not
true.

 

SKIPIFWEIGHT 20

MAXWEIGHT 3

 

TESTSFAILED 1 CONTAINS test1
TESTSFAILED 1 CONTAINS test2

 

TESTSFAILED END CONTAINS test3

 

TESTSFAILED 1 CONTAINS test4

TESTSFAILED 1 CONTAINS test5

etc etc

 

Please demonstrate how MAXWEIGHT or STOPATFIRSTHIT would do this in a single
filter?
