How can I use japanese in variables?

[Mag]

Hi all,

I have all the languages localization texts (including Japanese) in fields, one for each language. All appairs OK.

When I get a chunk of the text from a field and put it into another field all appears OK:

Code: Select all

 
   set the unicodeText of the field test to the unicodeText of item 2 of line 4 of field japanese

Obviously, when you try to do this with a variable, this don't work:

Code: Select all

   set the unicodeText of myVariable to the unicodeText of item 2 of line 4 of field japanese  ##Don't work, pseudo code
   set the unicodeText of the field test to unicodeText of myVariable

How do you suggest to proceed to put that chunk in a variable before to use it in other fields?

Hi,

This should be:

Code: Select all

   put the unicodeText of item 2 of line 4 of field "japanese" into myUnicodeVar
   set the unicodeText of the field "test" to myUnicodeVar

Note that myUnicodeVar contains binary data, not text. Also note the use of quotes.

Kind regards,

Mark

Thank you Mark (I'm just reading your book these days), works great.

Do you know if there is a way to use it also in ask and answer dialogs?

Hi,

You should be able to use the htmlText for dialogs:

Code: Select all

put the htmlText of fld "test" into myHtmlVar
answer warning myHtmlVar
