Suppose I have one character code like this
A;0000;0000;0000 ("0"s is data)
Now that you've given us a sample of the input, the solution is easier:
... read line
local prefix,info=line:match("(.-);(.*)$")
local h=handlers[p[prefix] or badprefix
h(prefix,info)
and register handlers for "A", "AB", "ABC", etc.
...and the problem with examples is, that they are examples only :)
And I have to sent all variations to completly define what I need
(which I am not allowed to do, by the way).
Only to describe another variation:
*A N
thats why I *trying* to describe things more theorectically (rigt
word? I am no native english speaker...)...
