Importing Grammars?

[Harold DeWayne]

Is there a mechanism to import an XSD file or an SEF file into a GRAMMAR in BOTS?

hi harold,

up until bots 3.0 there was a SEF to grammar tool in bots. I took it out because of the lack of good SEF files, and probably the fact that all x12 and edifact messages cna be downloaded from bots site
kinds fileld in that need.
I can send it, if you want (and it is still in the bots 2.2.1 version on soruceforge)

XSD to grammar: I developed that, but it has not seen thorough testing. I cna send it if you want it.

if you have an xml file, bot can make a grammar out of that (xml2botsgrammar.py).
(in bots 3.0 there is in import missing in that script, should add 'import logging' in start of file)

kind regads,
henk-jan

Thanks Henk-Jan... I would appreciate the XSD to grammar script (and the SEF to grammar script as well) if you have it... I'm not a Python programmer but I'm hacking my way through this, a little at a time.  I tried to use the xml2botsgrammar.py script on a file (after making it executable) but it failed.  I'll be looking into that further in the next day or two.

Got the xml2botsgrammar.py script to work... I was using the one in the bots/ directory not the bots-xml2botsgrammar.py one.  Now to try out my new grammar file.......

OK, good to hear.

I attached sef2bots and xsd2grammar to this email (hope gmail does not remove the attachments)
as said xsd2grammar is in an early development phase.

Hi, Henk-Jen.

This is my first time on the board so let me start by thanking you for all of the work on the platform, BOTS is a pleasure to use. This is one of my first python programming experiences and thanks to you and BOTS I've never had more fun programming.

I've been using an XML editor to create example files from my schemas then running those through xml2grammar.py, but chose elements in the schema make this much harder, especially when the XSD includes a few different X12 formats (850/860/832 source is from the same schema, yikes!). So I'm very interested in the xsd2grammar feature discussed here. Have there been changes made since this version?

Hey Henk-Jan,

did you continue with the development of the xsd2grammar module?

Is there a newer version available somewhere or can you share one?

Would be happy to see an update.

Thanks & best regards

i have a xsd2botsgrammar.

I can share it.

it does not work for very complicated grammars

Hi Henk-Jan,

super, I would appreciate if you could send it.

I will give it a try but might not work for ZUGFeRD (2.0) as this is - I think - a rather complicated one.

But for some smaller ones it will be useful for sure.

Best regards

Alex

filenames are hardcoded in function start()

2 different versions:

- in less records;  version more xml elements are used as 'fields'.

  that is somewhat more convenient, but disadvantage is that some xsd force a strict sequence, while bots places 'fields' first.

workaround is to have a xml file with all fields filled.

botsconfig.py (also in attachment) needs to be in same directory

kind regards, Henk-Jan Ebbers
