Literals

Items outside of angle brackets "<>" are literals. For example:

• reference_string ::= <Automation_object_reference><attribute_reference> | <tag_name>

• Automation_object_reference ::= <absolute_reference>|<relative_reference>

• absolute_reference ::= <tag_name>{.<contained_name>}

• tag_name ::= <identifier>

• contained_name ::= <identifier>

• relative_reference ::= <relative_name> | <relative_contained_reference>

• relative_contained_reference ::= MyContainer.<contained_name> | MyArea.<contained_name>

• relative_name ::= Me | MyContainer | MyArea | MyHost | MyEngine | MyPlatform

• attribute_reference ::= <value_ref>|<property_ref>

• whole_attribute_ref ::= [.<feature>][.<attribute>] | [.<feature>][.ATTRIBUTE(attribute)]

• value_ref ::= <whole_attribute_ref>[<array_index>]

• array_index ::= <open_bracket> {<index>} <close_bracket> [<open_bracket><index><close_bracket>][<open_bracket><index><close_bracket>]

• property_ref ::= <whole_attribute_ref>.<property>

• property ::= Value|Type|Quality|BitField|Dimension1|SecurityClassification|Locked|Category | propertyref

• propertyref ::= PROPERTY(Value|Type|Quality|BitField|Dimension1|SecurityClassification|Locked|Category)

• BitField ::= .00, .01, .02, …, .31 (valid ONLY for attributes of type MxInteger; otherwise Configuration error occurs at run time)

• attribute ::= <static_attribute>|<dynamic_attribute>

• static_attribute ::= [<static_attribute>.]<identifier>

• <dynamic_attribute> ::= <any_char_but>{<any_char_but>}

• feature ::= [<feature>.]<identifier>

• identifier ::= <valid_char>{<valid_char>}

• valid_char ::= <letter>|<digit>|<special_character>

• letter ::= any letter in alphabet of any language

• digit ::= any numerical character

• special_character ::= any graphics char, except the following:

  . + - * / \ = ( ) ` ~ ! % ^ & @ [ ] { } | : ; ’ , < > ? " whitespace

• whitespace ::= CR, LF, Tab, Space, FF, as returned by iswspace()

• any_char_but ::= any character except whitespace

• open_bracket := [

• close_bracket := ]

• Galaxy_identifier ::= <letter> | <digit>
