EL +3 vs. tribal/formed close foot
Question; does that mean +3 against Tribal or Formed that are close foot
or as my friend (honest doc) says - +3 against Tribal (any kind) and Formed close foot
Names have been withheld to protect the innocent
It used to say non drilled close, guess it means the same...

This one. The alternative just gets silly when you consider the factors for Cv, etc. that follow the foot ones.
Not sure why it has been changed as I thought the old wording was clear. Then again i think this one is, just different.

as i read it it is close tribal and close formed
It is pretty clear : +3 vs close units that are tribal or formed ...read the rest of the line on the QRS makes it pretty clear
Nomenclature is
/ means take as a group of alternatives.
So its either of them
So
tribal/formed close = means tribal close or formed close.
tribal or formed close = would mean any tribal or formed close
Hoping have got all the / correct on that basis. but open to finding any that are not.
It used to be non-drilled close and trying to avoid negatives. Thought it clearer and easier to say tribal/formed and avoid the non.

PS your still a friend Ray Duggins ;)
There's your answer #Pete
The solidus is OK to substitute for 'or' but the confusion is the "close foot" which you could argue to be a compound word in this case to avoid ambiguity
tribal/formed close-foot would be technically better
Parses as (Tribal or Formed) and (Close foot)
I'll have to ponder that ...

It would be more technically correct, but the usage is so rare that fewer people would understand it, IMHO.

We were trying not to guess

OK vs tribal or formed close FOOT to me it is clear ;D
Thanks Ray, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Simon now knows why I have strange questions about the rules when I am proof reading as I have difficulty with symbols that are used in computing and mathematics to mean something in the middle of a sentence :)
<ok> ;)
so its
(tribal|formed)close foot
as opposed to
(tribal|formed close) foot
correct
see, regex solves all syntax problems
But not your lack of punctuation issues... :P :-*
If you're having string problems I feel bad for you son
I got ninety nine problems but regex ain't one
As X/Y is causing some confusion and I've noticed we use it for -/ArmHrs I have tried to get rid of them all and have greater clarity still.
I will post the QRS here for mass checking shortly as easy to slip on banana skin while doing so. :o
