There is nothing wrong with this and I would like it to work.
However what currently happens is that for each node/way/relation I go through the tags exactly once and find the earliest rule that matches. Rules with actions have the actions run when seen. So in this case I believe that ncn is already set and has been processed so the change is too late.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks very much for the tips - should really help in finding a way around it.
A final fix would either be about enforcing and clarifying restriction or would probably be slower. But as long as the normal case is a similar speed I don't mind.
I wonder if a "continue" action might be the most efficient way of doing it - i.e. only have the slow behaviour if explicitly requested?
(As you can see I added an echo statement to aid debugging... thats about the limit of my Java. :) )
Hey, that looks useful, could you send a patch?
EchoAction.java attached (to go in osmstyle/actions, of course). It's a bit of a worksforme so apologies for any inelegance. The only other change needed is to add } else if ("echo".equals(cmd)) { String str = scanner.nextWord(); actions.add(new EchoAction(str)); in readActions (ActionReader.java). cheers Richard
