What is a data editing format?
A data editing format has a name, one or more criterias, and one data output format. WLinq uses
the data editing formats to extract, remove and add information to the incoming data strings.
A data editing format must have at least one criteria. There are three types of criterias: length
criterias, expression criterias, and EAN128 criterias.
A length criteria consists of a minimum length and a maximum length. A length criteria is
met when the input data string's length is longer than or equal the given minimum length
AND shorter than or equal to the given maximum length.
An expression criteria consist of a start position and an expression. The start position
specifies the position in the input data string where WLinq will try to match the expression.
The expression consists of the characters that should be present in the input data string
from the start position and forward. You can use the wild card character ? to represent any
one character. The wild card character * matches zero or more characters. Example: start
position = 3, expression = 3?5 will match the strings 12345, 123x5 och AB3Z5 but the
strings 12346, 12A45, and 1235 won't be matched.
An EAN128 critera consists of two lists of field identifiers. One list specifies the fields that
must be present in the data string and the other list specifies the fields that must not be
