Image dictionary (imgCIF)

Extended data types

The following extended data types are defined in this dictionary:

Code Primitive data type Regular expression construct Description
 
code char [_,.;:"&<>()/\{}'`~!@#$%A-Za-z0-9*|+-]* code item types/single words ...
ucode uchar [_,.;:"&<>()/\{}'`~!@#$%A-Za-z0-9*|+-]* code item types/single words (case insensitive) ...
line char [][ \t_(),.;:"&<>/\{}'`~!@#$%?+=*A-Za-z0-9|^-]* char item types / multi-word items ...
uline uchar [][ \t_(),.;:"&<>/\{}'`~!@#$%?+=*A-Za-z0-9|^-]* char item types / multi-word items (case insensitive)...
text char [][ \n\t()_,.;:"&<>/\{}'`~!@#$%?+=*A-Za-z0-9|^-]* text item types / multi-line text ...
binary char \n--CIF-BINARY-FORMAT-SECTION--\n\ [][ \n\t()_,.;:"&<>/\{}'`~!@#$%?+=*A-Za-z0-9|^-]*\ \n--CIF-BINARY-FORMAT-SECTION---- binary items are presented as MIME-like ascii-encoded sections in an imgCIF. In a CBF, raw octet streams are used to convey the same information.
int numb -?[0-9]+ int item types are the subset of numbers that are the negative or positive integers.
float numb -?(([0-9]+)[.]?|([0-9]*[.][0-9]+))([(][0-9]+[)])?([eE][+-]?[0-9]+)? float item types are the subset of numbers that are the floating numbers.
any char .* A catch all for items that may take any form...
yyyy-mm-dd char \ [0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9][0-9]-[0-9]?[0-9]-[0-9][0-9]\ (T[0-2][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9](.[0-9]+)([+-][0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]))? Standard format for CIF date and time strings (see http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/cif/spec/datetime.html), consisting of a yyyy-mm-dd date optionally followed by the character "T" followed by a 24-hour clock time, optionally followed by a signed time-zone offset. The IUCr standard has been extended to allow for an optional decimal fraction on the seconds of time. Time is local time if no time-zone offset is given.
