zcfg join chars

[will]

Hi,

I opened my Zoom Config file with Notepad and discovered a line where I could specify join characters: "WORDJOINCHARS"

Can I specify anything I like here? e.g. (, ), =, {, [, }, ] etc.

[David]

No, only those values than appear in the "indexing options" tab of the config window are allowed.

Which are,

Dots
Hyphens
Underscores
Apostrophes
Hash sign
Dollar sign
Comma
Colon
Ampersand

Anything might either result in a crash, or unexpected behaviour or values being ignored.

OK.

I see I can add a list of thousands of synonyms to the zcfg file with Notepad.

I ask in case there is a limit to the number of synonyms allowed.

[Ray]

There is no limit on the number of synonyms, but each synonym will count as an indexed word. So it will be bounded by the limit you specify for the maximum unique words to be indexed.

[will]

OK, thanks for the info.

I assume I can use allowed join characters in synonyms?

[David]

Yes you can.

If you are directly editing the .ZCFG file, with Notepad or some other tool, then you need to be careful not to mess up the file format. It is much safer to edit the configuration from the config window in general.
