Simple concatination

[Pnirff]

Hello,

again I try your software and wonder, wether a concatination with ' is possible.
I try to do the following:

set sWelcome = WELCOMETEXT';
interpret 'set ' + sWelcome + '.text = ''Bla''';

But it doesn't work. I try to concatinate a ' and in java, c or other langs it will be done with a double '

Thx in advance
Pnirff

Hi,

You are using the FPL programming language and you need to escape single quotes using a backslash e.g.

Code: Select all

set sWelcome = 'my son\'s dog';

or to add a single quote to an existing field:

Code: Select all

set sWelcome = sWelcome + '\'';

In both these examples, sWelcome is a form field.

If you are familiar with programming languages, you will probably find it easier to use Javascript instead of FPL as the server-side scripting language.

Regards
Jon
