What's the current thinking on the syntax of how ranges of node numbers are specified? For small numbers of nodes, whitespace or punctuation character separation (e.g., 1,2,3 or '1 2 3') work fine. The rub comes when you have 100s/1000s of nodes. Personally, I've found the use of '..' to be an acceptable format; as in '3..21' which implies the inclusive, sequential range of node numbers from 3 up to and including 21. Thoughts on the issue? Thanks, Stan. PS: If this is RTFM somewhere, please advise. |
