Hi, I'd like to look at the code that Loncapa uses to clean up submissions in numerical response problems. I'm referring to clean-up actions like converting exponents from '1x10^1' to '1e1' and removing leading '+' signs.
We have some lab exercises in which we use the student's entered data in some numerical response problems. I'm getting the previously submitted data via the &EXT() function. Every once in a while a student will submit their data with something like a leading '+' sign, which Loncapa cleans up, and the data is accepted as correct. So, it would be good for me to do the same clean up before I use the submission. I've looked around in the system and I see some cleanup in the 'implicit_multiplication' routine in 'caparesponse.pm' but I'm not sure I'm even in the right place. Any help or comments regarding any submission handling would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob Gonzales Chemistry Dept Binghamton University
