Re: [Ebib-users] @STRING question ....

[Marcelo B. <m.t...@gm...>]

hi Joost,

as I said I don't know LISP but will take a look, If I get some ideas
I just send some patch to the list.

Maybe  try to check to see if the export field if RAW than check to
see if some of the words on those raw fields match with some of the
loaded string, if  both are true (RAW field + word match) ebib can ask
the user if he wants to also export the matched strings.

Do you have some other idea ? Some other way to check ?
I will take a look into the code, let's see how LISP looks like :) my
very thanks for the fast answer !

regards,

marcelo bianchi
