Talk:Text processing/2: Difference between revisions

: The specific thing both tasks appear to accomplish is parsing the original source file. Is there something special about how they differ beyond that point? If it's a particular type of analysis in question, then I could see that analysis being the specific goal of a task that reads in language-native record types. I could also see parsing the data format being the goal in its own task. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 06:30, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

::The interpretations on this task are a bit simpler and better defined. This means that there is less code that doesn't have to do with actual parsing of data. I was never really sure what was supposed to happen in the other task because it seemed to be mostly defined in a forum post. The only real instructions I could figure out that were actually in the task were to go look at the forum post to see what to do or try to imitate some of the original examples that came with the task. I think that's what really sparked the debate that led to this split. My vote goes for this version because examples will be less cluttered and the task is well-defined on RC rather than on some other site. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 20:44, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
