Game of Thrones

[Ralphey at mtgmelb.com]

I'm trying to create so nice "automagic" Perl scripts to convert Card Vault
files (.def and associated .dat) into a tab delimited text files, and
vice-versa.

At the moment there's a minor problem processing the info...I'm unable to
work out why something like traits and keywords sometimes have tags, and
sometimes have tags and names, eg.

<tag group="traits" tag="Unique"/>
<tag group="traits" tag="Ally"/>
<tag group="traits" tag="traits006" name="Brotherhood Without Banners"/>
<tag group="keywords" tag="Stealth"/>

Does "Brotherhood" need a numbered tag due to the spaces in its name? I
suspect not, because I've just found :
<tag group="traits" tag="traits002" name="Dragonstone"/>

Thanks for any help/advice,

R.

If a trait has a name that's a legal unique id (10 or less characters, all
of which have to be alphanumeric or the _ character), then the name of the
trait is used as the tag name. If it's not a legal unique id - for example,
if it's got a space in it ("Brotherhood Without Banners") or more than 10
characters ("Dragonstone"), an arbitrary identifier ("traits007") was used
for the id by the program I was using to put together the data files.

I've sent you an email off-list about the specifics of the Game of Thrones
files.

Hope this helps,
