Hello,

I am working with some fld values, and putting them together from one field to another, like this,

button one

put the text of fld var_one into me
  put me into fld var_two

button two

Code: Select all

put the text of fld var_two into me
  put the text of fld var_three after me
  put me into fld var_four

this works well, however all the values from the text fields run together,

Code: Select all

document.write('<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"');document.write('codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"');

This would work ok I think for parsing the script, however, from a readability standpoint, it would be nice to put something inbetween them so each value would appear on its own line like this,

Code: Select all

document.write('<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6EAE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"');
document.write('codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"');

So now I am wondering how I could put the text of the fields on a separate line
so that the output is easier to verify that the code is correct.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or pointers.

Tim

Just as a simplification...

Code: Select all

put fld var_two & return & fld var_three into fld var_four

...If you don't really need all that text in the contents of the button (which usually isn't visible) for some other reason.

Hi, thanks for your reply, I probably need to change my approach to doing this and will likely do that, I am currently on the third innovation of this little experiment, thanks for the post, I will file that,
