Specifying GCGID generic masks

For GCGIDs that have been generated from Unicode values, you can use masks to derive the Unicode value. The masks must have the following format:

%[width]type

where

•	% indicates the start of the Unicode value to derive.

•	width specifies the maximum number of characters to read.

•	type specifies the data type that is expected.

The following types can be used:

Type	Qualifying input
d	Decimal integer
x	Hexadecimal integer
u	Unsigned decimal integer
o	Octal integer

The GCGID masks must be separated by semicolons.

 

Example 14

GCGID masks

UD0%05d;U000%04x;UD0%05u;UO%06o

UD0%05d matches GCGIDs that begin with UD0. The following five characters are interpreted as a decimal number.

U000%04x matches GCGIDs that begin with U000. The following four characters are interpreted as a hexadecimal number.

UD0%05u matches GCGIDs that start with UD0. The following five characters are interpreted as unsigned decimal integers.

UO%06o matches GCGIDs that start with U0. The following six characters are interpreted as octal integers.
