It's seeing the db, otherwise y=ou'd get a message that the db couldn't be found. It sounds like yo=u have more than one tab between the field values or field names. A copy an=d paste from the docs will maybe get you a bunch of spaces instead of a tab=. I'd turn on invisibles in your text editor and check the database dir=ectly.

Everything that I have =is in the same 'root' directory that I can ftp into.

Which= is why I am asking about the path that convertchars is looking for.

[convertchars db=3Dlistofchars.db]testing[/convertchars]

<!=--=C2=A0 listofchars.db=C2=A0 -->
from=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0==C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 to
e=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 =C2==A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 x

result=3Dtsting

Anoth=er odd thing is, that I can't even get [convertchars] to work when I copy==20& paste the example right out of the docs into the same template...
=

From the docs=3D
---[text]alphabet=3Dabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx=yz[/text]

[table name=3Dt1&fields=3Dfrom,to]
[listchars chars==3D[alphabet]]
[char]=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 [index]<=br>[/listchars]
[/table],,,

[convertchars table=3Dt1]this is your= text[/convertchars]

I add the text --- before= and I add the text ,,,=C2=A0 after so that I can see the result, and my re=sult is=C2=A0 --- ,,,

It's like the convertchars sees the= 'from' character, and deletes it, but doesn't replace the '=;to' character.

Really odd.=C2=A0 Any idea=s

Thanks again,

Ken, Thank you for that info,=C2=A0 but I think that you mis=understood my question.

I don't know the current path that [conv=ertchars] uses to find the StandardConversions.db from my template file,

So how do I find write a new path for [convertchars] to find a dif=ferent.db in my local directory?

Thanks again,

That path would look just like a pa=th to a db in a search, replace, append, include ( see my previous response=). Put the file anywhere that makes sense to you. If you don't know wha=t the StandardConversions.db looks like, I can email it when I get off my i=Pad and am at my computer.

Terry, this is a good idea, but I'm not hosting, therefor I =do no have access to the StandardConversions.db.=C2=A0=C2=A0 No ftp access =to that file location.

For now I'm going to do as Donovan =suggests, lose the convertchars and use the grep to replace the CR as neede=d.

I don't expect any other characters to be entered into the =input form.

Thanks for all the help.

New Q: The docs say that I can build my own specified .db for convertch=ars.=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0
=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0==C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 What would that path look like to my local directo=ry instead of the path to the StandardConversions.db. ?

Thanks =again

Done and done. Keep usin=g convertchars. Also, feel free to add more entries to the StandardConversi=ons.db as needed.

Hi All,

I cou=ld use a little help.

I'm trying to insert multiple hyperl=inks into a paragraph of text that is read from a database.

Th=e text is entered by the user into the database from a HTML form like this:=
blah blah blah=C2=A0 <a href=3D"http://www.domain1.com">www.domain1.com</a> blah bl=ah blah blah=C2=A0 <a href=3D"http://www.domain2.com">www.domain2.com</a> blah=C2=A0 bl=ah blah=C2=A0 <a href=3D"http://www.domain3.com">www.domain3.com</a> blah blah blah.
The text is provided to the public in a template page that should loo=k like this:
blah blah blah=C2=A0 www.domain1.com blah blah blah blah=C2=A0 www.domain2.com =blah=C2=A0 blah blah=C2=A0 www.domain3.com blah blah blah.

But, No=. =C2=A0 I get the text exactly as entered:
blah blah blah=C2=A0 <a==20href=3D"http://w=ww.domain1.com">www.domain1.com</a> blah blah=20blah blah=C2=A0 <a=20href=3D"http://w=ww.domain2.com">www.domain2.com</a> blah=C2=A0 blah=20blah=C2=A0 <a href=3D"http://www.domain3.com">www.domain3.com</a>=20blah blah blah.

How do I get the HTML parts of the code =to function, instead of being interpreted as text?

=I am using [url]...[/url] in the [append] tag.

I am using [convert=chars]...[/convertchars] in the template page

I've been playing with the [convertwords db=3Dglossary.db] examp=les shown in the docs,=C2=A0 but I can't even get that to work.

Any insight into how this might be done would be appreciated.

Thank you,
