[Bernd Militzer]

Hi all,


for a large ancestor-project I defined a set of informations for a  
lot of persons like you can see below.

QUESTION: how many synonyms  can I  max. define? I need about 4000 defs.

or has someone a better idea to handle those informations.

thanks for help!

Bernd

If you need only 4000 separate PIDs, that should work ok.

But it is probably easier to write a small database interface
layer. Somewhat like this (note that I had to change \doGeTPID
as well).

   \def\PID[#1][#2]{\getparameters[PID#1][#2]}

   \def\doGetPID#1#2{\getvalue{PID#2#1}}

   \def\getPID#1{\doGetPID{Fam}{#1}, \doGetPID{Vor}{#1}~(#1)}

   \PID[268]
       [Fam=Rudolph,
        Nam=Rudluffen,
        Vor=Adam]

Cheers, Taco

a lot (as much as tex's hash + mem permits; the hash can be > 100K)

Thanks Taco for that example, but sorry it dos not work.

Runaway argument?
268] [Fam=Rudolph, Nam=Rudluffen, Vor=Adam]
! Paragraph ended before \PID was complete.
<to be read again>
                    \par
l.57

I have no idea.

Thanks a Taco!

with PID[268]%
                      ^
[Fam=Rudolph,
         Nam=Rudluffen,
         Vor=Adam]

all is ok.

You can also do

\def\PID[#1]#2[#3]{\getparameters[PID#1][#3]}
% #2 is to gobble spaces

\def\doGetPID#1#2{\getvalue{PID#2#1}}

\def\getPID#1{\doGetPID{Fam}{#1}, \doGetPID{Vor}{#1}~(#1)}

with this both
\PID[268]
     [Fam=Rudolph,
      Nam=Rudluffen,
      Vor=Adam]

and

\PID[268][Fam=Rudolph,Nam=Rudluffen,Vor=Adam]

work.

There is also this (more formal) solution:

   \def\PID{\dodoubleempty\doPID}
   \def\doPID[#1][#2]{\getparameters[PID#1][#2]}

The core internal macro \dodoubleempty creates empty []
groups if they are not provided in the input. There is
also \dosingleempty etc, upto \doseventupleempty
