Hello Roger,
>From what you described, I don't think you need a script, you just want to
replace a token with a value. I assume that you want to replace 'friend'
with the variable value before the user see's it displayed in the memo.
Populate your memo with something like this:
%date%
dear %name% I have written to you today to talk to you about this
and
that for these and those reasons. I would love it if we could
You can access the entire contents of the memo as a single string using the
Text property. To replace the tokens with the desired values you use the
following Delphi function (check the help):
AnsiReplaceStr(const AText, AFromText, AToText: string): string;
var
sDate: String;
sName: String;
begin
sDate := 'Aug 23, 2006';
sName := 'John Doe';
...
// Load template into memo
mmo.Lines.LoadFromFile('template.txt');
Lines.Text := AnsiReplaceStr(Lines.Text, '%date', sDate);
Lines.Text := AnsiReplaceStr(Lines.Text, '%name', sName);
// Memo is now populates with variable values
...
end

Subject: Scripted memos?
Does anyone know of a way to allow for scripts inside of memos.
for instance:
Say I have the following memo:
dear friend I have written to you today to talk to you about this and
that for these and those reasons. I would love it if we could
actaully get together to talk more on the matter.
what I would like to do is be able to change the word friend to a
variable that will change with the click of a button.
Hope that is clear. Hope someone knows a way.
Thanks,
Roger MacRae
