Sure. However, I think that this could be simplified so that it is
easier to read. At a minimum you may wish to add some comments to
explain the purposes of the multi-level if-statements as it is not
intuitive for the reader.

Ok thats fine. Sorry for my repeated questions, but I think that this
just highlights that this code is not clear in it purpose. So again may
be some comments would make this all clearer.
