5.11 Using the Cart Mask Edit Panel

Some portions of XStudio require the entry of cart masks for one purpose or another. When cart

masks need to be added, edited or deleted, the Cart Mask Edit Panel is displayed.

The panel is intended to make the tasks associated with cart mask maintenance easier and more

foolproof with buttons for adding, editing and deleting cart masks.

Add Mask Button

When the Add Mask button is clicked, a dialog appears for entry of the new cart mask. The entered

mask is validated to ensure it meets cart mask rules before being accepted and added to the cart

mask list.

Edit Mask Button

To edit a cart mask in the list, select the item to be edited and click on the Edit Mask button. The mask

text appears in a dialog for editing. The revisions are validated to ensure the changes meet cart mask

rules before being accepted.

Delete Mask Button

To delete a cart mask in the list, select the item to be deleted and click on the Delete Mask button. The

selected cart mask is immediately removed from the list.

Close Cart Mask Edit Panel Button

Click when finished editing cart masks to close the panel and update the cart mask field contents.

5.11.1 Cart Masks Explained

Cart masks are used to identify carts (audio files) that might be grouped together. A cart mask must be

exactly 4 (four) characters in length. Mask entry dialogs will not allow entries that are too short and will

not accept more than 4 characters entered.

The "?" (question mark) or the "*" (asterisk) characters are "wildcards", meaning a letter or number is

valid in its position in the mask. The "?" and "*" characters can be used interchangeably as they have

the same meaning in cart mask evaluation. A third wildcard that can be used is the "#" (pound sign)

character. When used in a cart mask, only numbers (0 through 9) are valid in its position in the mask.

These are the only wildcard characters allowed for a cart mask - all other characters will be interpreted

literally.

Valid characters for a cart mask, besides the "?" (question mark), "*" (asterisk) and "#" (pound sign)

include the letters A .. Z, the numbers 0 .. 9 and the characters "{", "}" and "!" (exclamation).

A valid cart mask will include one or more "?", "*", or "#" characters (although it doesn't have to) and
