Hi Corona,
Thank for your time but i already know how do the associativ array works.
In fact i was refering and wondering about to the "collating" notation mentionned
here
it says
"A collating symbol is a multi-character sequence that should be treated as a unit"
so if
[.my_word.] is more or less processed the same way as
/my_word/ , i don't see the added value of this specific notation so i was wondering what is behind
"treated as a unit" ...
So if someone has a good example of a context in which such notation is necessary, i would be glad to have a look at it, because i think i miss something here.

XmConvertUnits(library call) XmConvertUnits(library call)
NAME
XmConvertUnits -- A function that converts a value in one unit type to another unit type
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
int XmConvertUnits(
Widget widget,
int orientation,
int from_unit_type,
int from_value,
int to_unit_type);
DESCRIPTION
XmConvertUnits converts the value and returns it as the return value from the function. For resources of type, dimension, or position, you
can specify units using the syntax described in the XmNunitType resource of the XmPrimitive reference page.
widget Specifies the widget for which the data is to be converted.
orientation
Specifies whether the converter uses the horizontal or vertical screen resolution when performing the conversions. The orienta-
tion parameter can have values of XmHORIZONTAL or XmVERTICAL.
from_unit_type
Specifies the current unit type of the supplied value
from_value
Specifies the value to be converted
to_unit_type
Converts the value to the unit type specified
The parameters from_unit_type and to_unit_type can have the following values:
XmPIXELS All values provided to the widget are treated as pixel values. This is the default for the resource.
XmMILLIMETERS
All values provided to the widget are treated as millimeter values.
Xm100TH_MILLIMETERS
All values provided to the widget are treated as 1/100 of a millimeter.
XmCENTIMETERS
All values provided to the widget are treated as centimeter values.
XmINCHES All values provided to the widget are treated as inch values.
Xm1000TH_INCHES
All values provided to the widget are treated as 1/1000 of an inch.
XmPOINTS All values provided to the widget are treated as point values. A point is a unit used in text processing applications and is
defined as 1/72 of an inch.
Xm100TH_POINTS
All values provided to the widget are treated as 1/100 of a point. A point is a unit typically used in text processing applica-
tions and is defined as 1/72 of an inch.
XmFONT_UNITS
All values provided to the widget are treated as normal font units. A font unit has horizontal and vertical components. These
are the values of the XmScreen resources XmNhorizontalFontUnit and XmNverticalFontUnit.
Xm100TH_FONT_UNITS
All values provided to the widget are treated as 1/100 of a font unit. A font unit has horizontal and vertical components.
These are the values of the XmScreen resources XmNhorizontalFontUnit and XmNverticalFontUnit.
RETURN
Returns the converted value. If a NULL widget, incorrect orientation, or incorrect unit_type is supplied as parameter data, 0 (zero) is
returned.
