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=1 VENDORNAME:=This is the name of vendor1 VENDORADDRESS:=This is the address of vendor1 SKU=2 VENDORNAME:=This is the name of vendor2 VENDORADDRESS:=This is the address of vendor2 This 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]
[formvariables name=[value]_&exact=F] [grep search=^[keyfieldsku]_&replace=][NAME]:[/grep]=[value]
[/formvariables] 
[/formvariables] [/showif] Example output: SKU=1 VENDORNAME:=This is the name of vendor1 VENDORADDRESS:=This is the address of vendor1 21_VENDORNAME:=This is the name of vendor21 21_VENDORADDRESS:=This is the address of vendor21 31_VENDORNAME:=This is the name of vendor31 31_VENDORADDRESS:=This is the address of vendor31 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
