I have a string of characters in a language that go something like this:
ZaXbbdsfZvfghXaasn
now I have to "translate" those into a different type of representation; and
the 3 "rubs" are these:
1. everytime I encounter a Z it must be moved after the next symbol's
representation in the translation,
2. everytime I encounter an X it must be moved before the preceding
symbol's representation in the translation,
3. some of the symbols represented in the original string are
represented in translation by a single symbol,
some by double symbols, and a few by triple symbols.
I don't think that's going to work. Or there's information missing or
something. By those rules, the first Z moves to after the a. Then the
X no longer follows the a. Is that what's desired? Are rules 1,2, and
3 in order of precendence? Are these the *only* three rules? Rule
number 3 needs more fleshing out before anything can be done with it.
If the second Z moves after the v in vfgh and the second X moves
before the h in vfgh, does that break up a possible decryption of vfgh
or does it create a new fg phrase to be decrypted? I really hate to go
in this direction, but my guess is that you need more rules.
Keyboard transliteration of this sort of stuff can be implemented
relatively easily . . .
However if one is going to allow the inputter to delete, insert and edit
text this
is not an acceptable solution.
Batch transliteration is "where it's at", and is also where I am stuck.
