Claim 1
Independent Claim

A method to transform data from a first format to a second format comprising the steps of: creating a quoted character value; creating a numerical byte value; creating a data value; receiving said data; reviewing said data for occurrences of said quoted character, numerical byte value, and data value; counting said occurrences of said quoted characters, numerical byte values, and data value within said data; assigning a priority value to each occurrence of said quoted characters, numerical byte values, and data values; assigning each of said occurrences of quoted characters, numerical byte values, and data values to an array of variables; and, creating said second format by arranging said variables, within said linear array, into a format arrangement according to said assigned priority values.
Claim 2

A method to transform data from a first format to a second format comprising the steps of: creating a quoted character value; creating a numerical byte value; creating a data value; receiving said data; reviewing said data for occurrences of said quoted character, numerical byte value, and data value; counting said occurrences of said quoted characters, numerical byte values, and data value within said data; assigning a priority value to each occurrence of said quoted characters, numerical byte values, and data values; assigning each of said occurrences of quoted characters, numerical byte values, and data values to an array of variables; and, creating said second format by arranging said variables, within said linear array, into a format arrangement according to said assigned priority values.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
87 words
A data interchange system adapted to transform a message having a plurality of data objects arranged in a first format into a second and a third format, said system comprising: means for receiving said message and for recognizing, extracting, and arranging said plurality of data objects in only a single structure; second means for providing said second and third formats; third means for selecting said plurality of said data objects in said single structure and for arranging said selected data objects into said second and third format.
