Re: Evaluate complex conditions

[Terry Grider <tgrider@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry guys,  I didn't do a very good job of explaining what I was looking for.
I don't mean I want code that is an example of testing for complex conditions, I
mean I'm looking for code that will evaluate statements like the one in my
original example and determine the truth of the statement.  You see, I'm writing
a query tool and I want the user to be able to provide selection criteria in an
english style IF format similar to cobol or other query tools I've seen.  I can
currently handle simple criteria with "and/or" connectors, but I can't seem to
come up with a good method for handling multiple levels of parenthesis.
