ABSTRACT:
A method for mapping a file specification to a sequence of zero or more actions. A file specification consists of any finite string of bits that provides information about the identity of a file in a computer's file system. An action can be any process that effects a change upon the computer system containing the file. The mapping method involves sequentially applying a list of pattern/action rules, with each rule's action being executed if the rule's pattern matches the file specification. Upon completion, the series of actions that has been executed is the sequence of actions corresponding to the file specification.
