Output.txt ：20.0/9.8/9.4

the --man option (see serate(1)) explains that 0.0 and 20.0 are error indications
if you see 0.0 or 20.0 for a given puzzle then verify it by other means

0.0 means invalid puzzle detected on input
20.0 means unsolvable; this could mean multiple solutions or SE ran out of techniques

I was lucky enough to extend SE for ER/EP/ED without damaging the code flow
getting more than 0.0 and 20.0 for error conditions (or additional checks) would be pushing that luck

Thanks, gsf
In this situation, Will I get a penalty of consecutive entry, if I post another puzzle immediatly.

good question
this probably needs better documentation
the referee makes a distinction between
(1) syntactically correct submission -- looks like a grid+rating
(2) valid puzzle -- matches pattern, minimal, 1 solution
(3) valid submission -- meets player / rating rules

submissions meeting at least (1) and (2) count towards consecutive entry
you met (1) but not (2), so you can make another move
a ::: status ::: would also confirm the last-entry

gsf, so as to locate the "post boundaries" between games, is there a unique set of search keys for either the opening or closing post :?:

by **JPF** » Wed Feb 06, 2008 1:09 pm

Thanks g.r.emlin...

but it's still not easy to understand how to reconcile score[n] and score [n+1], especially after a trump puzzle.

well, it ought to be unique, but cannot be guaranteed, as suppose i included such strings in the present post -- the search would then find the present post !

look at this boundary

add triple-colons-and-a-space ahead of each

Thanks Pat. A two keyword search -- "game" and "start" -- with "g.r.emlin" as author works the best.

this will be slightly off-topic for some, especially those without unix/linux

its not easy to separate the wheat from the chaff

the referee is coded into two passes, one piped into the other
the first pass transforms the raw post html to a op data line form
that form is then processed by a straightforward shell while/case loop on the ops
in that loop PG_NAME marks the start of the next post
in each post there may be a PG_DEAL
if the data is comment then ignore the rest of the post until the next PG_NAME

here is the first pass, put it in an executable sh(1) script file
and call it with the raw forum patterns game html file(s) as operand(s)
it abuses sed(1) to the point where it requires \? to mean 0 or 1 of the previous re
the at&t ast sed and gnu sed support this
linux provides gnu sed so the script should at least work there
