Hmm.

Instead of hard-coding specific patterns,
can you implement this in a more generic way?


For example, how about this?

Use '/' as a delimiter
so that user input will be "m/y", "y/m", "m/n", etc.

Split the input string into tokens by strtok() or something.
Iterate over the tokens until sym_set_tristate_value() succeeds.


Thanks.
