DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Summary] Regarding a text verification processing method when a new edition is generated by adding characters, the purpose is to enable reliable and efficient verification when the text is revised. In a data processing device having a function of generating a new version text (2) from a text (2), an editor (3) that generates a new version text (2) by adding characters to the old version text (2). And a text verification unit (4) for verifying the text (2) of the new edition by comparing the text (2) of the old edition and the text of the new edition (2). ), A new version of the text (2) is created, which corresponds to the added portion and is given a predetermined mark to identify the added portion so as to be distinguishable from other portions. In addition, the text verification unit (4) detects the presence of the predetermined mark, and the added text specified by the predetermined mark in the new edition text (2) is added. The method is configured to compare the other part excluding the part with the old text (2), and verify the part of the new text (2) different from the old text (2). Is characterized by.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a text verification processing method, and more specifically,
The present invention relates to a text verification processing method when generating a new version by adding characters.

A text file (text) may be shipped in several editions. In this case, the text is usually revised at the time of revision, so it is necessary to verify the contents of the new edition text. In particular, it is necessary to verify whether or not an undesired change has been made to the old version frozen part (the part that is not modified) when modifying the text.

[Conventional technology]

 FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of a conventional technique.

In FIG. 3, 1 is a data processing device, 2 is a text (text file), 3 is an editor, and 5 is a list which outputs the contents of the text 2.

Now, the text-1 of the n-1th edition (referred to as text n-1).
Hereinafter, it is assumed that there is an old version of text n generated by the editor 3 from the same), and the text n is further revised to generate a new version of text n + 1.

In this case, the editor 3 corrects the text n to generate the text n + 1. Together with this, the contents of the old and new texts 2 are output as a list 5 from the output device of the data processing device 1 in order to perform the above-mentioned verification. That is, the contents of the text n and n + 1 are obtained as a list n and n + 1 in a visible form, respectively.

Then, for example, the creator of the text n + 1 performs the verification by visually comparing and collating the lists n and n + 1.

If there is no error as a result of this verification, the text n + 1 is shipped as the text 2 of the new edition.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

According to the prior art mentioned above, the verification of the new version of Text 2 is
There is a problem in that the verification itself lacks certainty and its efficiency is poor because humans visually check the two lists 5.

On the other hand, it is possible to create a file (text) comparison program and perform the verification using this program, but in this case, it is difficult to compare the old and new texts (n and n + 1), or the comparison is partially repeated. There is a problem that it is necessary to repeat. It should be noted that, in the past, when the text was revised, the old version freeze section (the section that was not modified and remains the old version) and the new version addition section (the section that was newly added or deleted by the modification) were clearly separated. Because it was not configured.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a text verification processing method capable of reliably and efficiently performing verification when a text is revised.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

FIG. 1 is a principle block diagram of the present invention, showing a data processing device according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a data processing device, 2 is a text (text file), 3 is an editor (text editor).
Is a text verifier.

The data processing device 1 has a function of generating a text 2 (text n + 1) of a new edition (n + 1th edition) from a text 2 (text n) of an old edition (nth edition), and further verifies the text n + 1. It has a function to do. The generation function and the verification function are the editor 3 and the verifier 4, respectively.
Is realized by

The editor 6 corrects this only by adding a character (character string) to the text n to generate the text n + 1.
In addition, in this specification, "addition" includes "deletion".

The editor 3 also attaches a predetermined mark to a portion (new edition added portion) added to the text n + 1 in the text n + 1, and other portion, that is, a portion left uncorrected as the text n (old edition frozen portion). ) And can be distinguished.

The verifier 4 compares the text n and the text n + 1, and verifies the text n + 1, in particular, the frozen part of the old version. For this reason, verifier 4
Allows the predetermined mark to be identified.

[Work]

The editor 3 has a structure in which the generated text n + 1 is clearly separated into an old version frozen part and a new version added part, and a predetermined mark for distinguishing these two parts is added to the new version added part. To do.

For the text n + 1 having such a structure, the verifier 4 first identifies a predetermined mark, and based on this, removes the new edition addition from the text n + 1, and then extracts the old edition frozen portion of the text n + 1 and the text n. Compare. As a result of this comparison, it can be verified that there is no error if the old version frozen part matches the text n, while it can be corrected if there is an error. If necessary, after this correction, the verifier 4 can perform verification again.

〔Example〕

 FIG. 2 is a text verification processing flow according to the present invention.

The text verification process in the data processing device 1 will be described below with reference to FIG.

The editor 3 (or the data processing device 1) creates the text no as a copy of the text n. For this,
The file F of the text n is copied to create the file Fo of the text no, and this is saved.

Editor 3 displays text n + 1 together with text n
Incorporates the new edition addition part of At this time, a mark for identifying the new edition is added before and after it.

The editor 3 that has received the above input adds (embeds) the new version addition portion and the marks before and after it to the file F (text n). For example, if you want to add the character string “0123” after the character “F” to the character string ABCDEFGHIJK existing in the file F, mark And It is done like.

To delete the character string on file F, Marks different from, eg To delete "DEF" for the character string ABCDEFGHIJK existing in file F using It is done like.

After the verification referred to in the present application is completed, in the first example above, Is deleted, and the new version text becomes ABCDEF0123GHIJK. In the second example above, Needless to say, the new text will be ABCGHIJK.

All modifications of the character string on the file F can be performed by a combination of addition and deletion (addition in this specification).

Although the mark is attached to the new edition addition portion, it may be attached to the old edition frozen portion as long as the two can be distinguished.

By repeating the above-mentioned additional processing, the file F
The text n + 1 is generated above. The text n + 1 at this point is The original text n + 1 such as contains unnecessary things.

Verifier 4 is a file Fo with text no (n)
And the file F of the text n + 1 are compared. At this time,
Verifier 4 Character strings that identify the mark and exist between them File F is collated with the part of the file F that has been excluded. That is, the old edition frozen part of the text n + 1 is compared with the copied text no.

If the result of the comparison does not match, the verifier 4 judges that the data that should be left as it is on the file F as the old version freezing part has been changed (error occurred) in the process of processing etc. To do.

If an error occurs, verifier 4 or editor 3
Refers to the file Fo and corrects the inconsistent portion of the file F to the same data as the data on the file Fo.

After that, the modified file F is processed again,
Is done.

If no error occurs, verifier 4
It is determined that the correct new text n + 1 has been generated on the file F.

After this, verifier 4 Original text n + such as the part to be deleted from text or text n +
An unnecessary part is excluded as 1 and the original text n + 1 is generated on the file F. This file F is for storing the text n + 1.

The verifier 4 also provides a history data section in the file F for saving the text n + 1 separately from the text n + 1. The data (history data) relating to the positions and contents of the excluded parts such as the above is stored. This gives the text n +
The text n from 1 can be easily reproduced. If the history data section is provided when the text n exists in the file F, the history data section is used as it is and the text n +
1 History data at the time of generation can be saved. Furthermore,
Expand the mark (change with each revision of each edition),
The history data can be added and saved in the history data section each time each edition is revised. In this case, it is possible to save the entire history of the change of the text 2, and it is also possible to reproduce the text n + 1 to the text n-1. As a result, it becomes possible to easily manage the version number of each version of the text or text file.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, in the text verification process, the structure of the text is separated into the old edition freeze portion and the new edition addition portion, and the new edition addition portion is given a predetermined mark. Since the verification can be performed without human visual inspection, the verification can be performed reliably and efficiently, and the history of text revisions can be saved and easily reproduced.
