It keeps the original formatting. numero = 17197

texte = Hi Peter,I'm glad my suggestion got you started. Writing a temp db and using summ=T to search that db is just what I would have done. Since your application of this technique is not particularly demanding as far as time or resources, writing a temp db is a good solution.>BTW - I discovered some strange behavior:>[appendfile somefile]sometext[/appendfile]>does not put a carriage return at the end of the line, I have to>write it like this:>[appendfile somefile]sometext>[/appendfile]Appendfile and writefile are *supposed* to work like this. if you want a carriage return after the sometext, you have to put it there ... :)Some people get the [append] context confused with [appendfile] -- and they perform very different functions.1- The [append] context writes field values to an existing WebCat database file -- in the proper WebCat database format.2- The [appendfile] context appends EXACTLY what you type into the context -- nothing more and nothing less. Writefile does the same thing, it writes exactly what you enter into the [writefile] context.The only thing that gets changed inside an appendfile (or writefile or sendmail) context are the enclosed WebDNA tags, which are replaced *before* the text is appended. Everything else gets written exactly the way you type it. That's why careful formatting is very important when using appendfile, writefile and sendmail ... :)Sincerely,Ken Grome808-737-6499WebDNA Solutionsmailto:ken@webdna.nethttp://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
