texte = How does formvariables match by name?In one case I have formvariables name=1_vendorname and in another I have name=_1_vendorname.I can't understand why the first one fails but the second works. Does the formvariables with an inexact match match in the middle of the name rather than at the start?--------------Sample code------------This works as expected:[showif submit=[submit]][formvariables name=sku_&exact=F]SKU=[text show=T]keyfieldsku=[value][/text]
[formvariables name=_[value]_&exact=F][grep search=^_[keyfieldsku]_&replace=][NAME]:[/grep]=[value]
[/formvariables]
[/formvariables][/showif]Example output for above code:SKU=1VENDORNAME:=This is the name of vendor1VENDORADDRESS:=This is the address of vendor1SKU=2VENDORNAME:=This is the name of vendor2VENDORADDRESS:=This is the address of vendor2This does not work as expected (I have changed the form to remove the _ at the front of the var name.):[showif submit=[submit]][formvariables name=sku_&exact=F]SKU=[text show=T]keyfieldsku=[value][/text]
