| By | Scratch Bot Track Name Match | |
| jeff 2/14/2010 5:50:35 PM | From my email inbox: --quote: Jeff, The XML scratch routine does not seem to be working for Sam Houston Race Track. It never shows any scratches even though there are scratches in some of the races. P.S. Once again, I know you are busy so answer this whenever you get a free moment. There is no rush. --end quote-- My reply: I believe that Equibase has "Sam Houston Race Park" as the track name in their xml. You can see the xml itself by first clicking the + button on the Scratch Bot Module to expand the module... followed by clicking the -/+ symbols in the xml itself next to the track name. Clicking the +/- symbols in the xml will collapse or expand the "nodes" for each track in the xml itself... allowing you to see the entire xml content for each track. Hint: Look for the track_name of each track in the xml and create a match between your entry in the Notes Field of the module's TrackAbreviations Table and the track name displayed in the XML. Do that for each track that you play and it should work... Two exceptions: The ampersand "&" character in the track names for Charles Town Races & Slots and Mountaineer Casino & Slots creates problems for sql databases. So the two exceptions are to use track names of simply "Charles Town" and "Mountaineer" (both without the quote characters) for Charles Town and Mountaineer. For all other track names you want to create an exact match between the track name in the Notes field of your TrackAbbreviations table and the track name displayed in the XML. It's not case sensitive... but it absolutely IS letter sensitive. -jp . ~Edited by: jeff on: 2/14/2010 at: 5:50:35 PM~
