We have a very urgent issue that has us almost dead in the water, heightened by the fact that we're at a client site and workingon a tight schedule...
In much of the text we are searching we have many constructions such as the following:
poly(hydroxy alkanoates)
We would like to be able to concatenate together the individual chemical terms in these types of constructions (in this example they are "poly", "hydroxy" and "alkanoates") as (again, in this example) poly-hydroxy-alkanoates for inclusion in an equivalence file, and have Texis hit the phrase, regardless of the inclusion of parens, hyphens, etc. in the text. That is, the text may look like any of the following:
poly hydroxy (alkanoates)
poly hydroxy(alkanoates)
poly(hydroxy-alkanoates)
poly-hydroxy(alkanoates)
etc.
In other words, we need to have Texis regard hypens and parens in the text as *white space* -- WHERE THERE MAY NOT BE ACTUAL WHITE SPACE -- so that, for example, the string poly-hydroxy-alkanoates *in an equivalence file* results in a hit of, say, poly(hydroxy alkanoates). Our recollection is that we used to be able to this in the past, and we're scratching our heads wondering if a default search setting has changed with the current version.
Here is our version information:
Texis Web Script (Vortex) Copyright (c) 1996-2010 Thunderstone - EPI, Inc.
Commercial Version 6.00.1289279282 20101109 (i686-intel-winnt-64-32)
Thanks
The issue is compounded by the fact that there are MANY chemical terms involved in our project, and without the ability to concatenate them together with hypens, the number of combinations of individual chemical terms becomes prohibitive.
Again, this is a very urgent issue for us. Your insight and help is appreciated.
