Just wondering if there is a better way of doing this..
I have a site that that customizes documents with about 5-10 (could
expand later on) elements that customizable - the example I can
think of is a mail merge.
I say this as end users are entering the data and I want to make it
easy for them to utilize customizable fields..
~FirstName~ (replace with) SESSION[User].FirstName
~LastName~ (replace with) SESSION[User].LastName
~City~ (replace with) SESSION[User].City
~Country~ (replace with) SESSION[User].Country
RE Subexpressions are your friend (Assume you then save this as
a .cfm then include it):
<cfsavecontent variable="x">
~FirstName~ (replace with) SESSION[User].FirstName
~LastName~ (replace with) SESSION[User].LastName
~City~ (replace with) SESSION[User].City
~Country~ (replace with) SESSION[User].Country
</cfsavecontent>
