LeRoy,
I am working on the new CRUNCH Two. As a redesign it is still in the making. It will contain many new filter options, a slection of ouput and sort choices. There are no filter check boxed any longer, filter selection are done in the input fiield. So you only have to sekect the fitlers you like and need. Having the filters in the input and output field makes it easier to save the used filters for teh future.
That of course required a new command structure, which contains a shorthand version and a descriptive version (e.g. The command SelectFilter can be written also as +F) the same goes for the Filters as well (Roots can be written as R, EndPairs as EP, etc.). Filters include KeyNumbers, VtracsSums, HighLow Selection, PairSums etc. The results can be sorted by these filters as well.
The Lottery Development Members will receive the first version of the new tool hopefully sometime next week. Also active CRUNCH users will receive it at the same time. As promised in another post earlier, it will be free for current CRUNCH users. As documention I will implement a list of commands and filters, and some examples. I think, even though it might require an adjustment from the previous CRUNCH version I think that it will be easy to get a feel for it and to use it. Not everyone will probably use the entire list of filters, but I think that the simple, but descriptive Commands and Filter Selections will be easy to get used to (I hope!).
Here another Sneak Preview of teh "New Look" of the Program Output...I just used some data from teh Lottery Post as an example. Comments in red....
Evaluation Date: Tue Jul 20 01:04:35 PDT 2004
INPUT DATA: /This is what you put in
<AddList:Numbers> /The new command style you could also use <+L:N> which is shorter but harder to read!
844, 840, 800, 744, 843, 740, 814, 830, 700, 810, 743, 833, 464, 714, 730, 813, 118, 460, 710, 060, 445, 733, 842, 405, 463, 713, 820, 005, 063, 164, 435, 742, 832, 035, 415, 720, 812, 105, 163, 732, 135, 462, 712, 115, 260, 425, 822, 205, 263, 162, 235, 722, 215, 262, 225 /The entry of numbers is teh same. No requirements. The output devides the entires with a comma.
<AddList:Numbers:A few of the same numbers again!> /The system allows remarks within the command.
445, 733, 842, 405, 463, 713, 820, 005, 063, 164, 435, 742, 832, 035, 415, 720, 812, 105, 163, 732, 135, 462, 712, 115, 260, 425, 822, 205, 263, 162, 235, 722, 215, 262, 225
<UnselectFilter:EvenOddNumbers>/A filter example: All numbers with two or three Odds are eliminated. The Command in shorthand would be <-F:EON>
OOO, EOO, OEO, OOE
<SelectFilter:KeyNumbers> /Another filter example: Only Numbers with these KeyNumbers will be listed.
4, 6, 2
<UnselectFilter:Sums> /All sums from 00 to 4 and from 23 to 27 are eliminated as well.
00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23
<SetSort:Roots>/The results will be sorted by Roots followed by the number occurrences.
<SetOutput:Sums> /Besides the number of occurrences the ouput will also show the sum for each number.
OUTPUT DATA: /This is what the system puts out.
Results: 30 /Number or selections
Roots: 8(2)/The root followed by how many numbers are in the category.
260(08/2) /The number itself followed by sum as requested and the number of occurrences in the input data.
Roots: 5(3)
464(14/1), 842(14/2)
Roots: 6(3)
060(06/1), 744(15/1), 843(15/1)
Roots: 7(3)
844(16/1), 205(07/2)
Roots: 1(5)
460(10/1), 262(10/2), 820(10/2)
Roots: 3(5)
840(12/1), 462(12/2), 822(12/2)
Roots: 4(9)
814(13/1), 445(13/2), 463(13/2), 742(13/2), 832(13/2)
Roots: 9(10)
063(09/2), 162(09/2), 225(09/2), 405(09/2), 720(09/2)
Roots: 2(11)
740(11/1), 164(11/2), 263(11/2), 425(11/2), 722(11/2), 812(11/2)
This might give you not only an idea about concerning the output, but also about the variety of options and lists you can create with the tool.
Until later, Good Luck!
