Dear all
I came across a nasty bug: Special characters not displayed correctly in
variable if
inserted via script. Please vote on
https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FRMAKER-5522
Script InsertVariable.jsx creates a variable with this content:
\+9\st007\st199\st254\st740\st991
However, what is displayed, even after screen refresh:
+9st007st199st254st740st991
A screen refresh has no influence. However after editing (replacing with
itself) of
any character in the variable definition the display becomes correct.
There is no problem creating this variable manully via UI.
Using the corresponding Unicode characters is not an option, because this
depends on
the font - which mostly do not contain these characters (U2009 THIN SPACE,
U+2212
MINUS SIGN or U+2011 NON-BREAKING HYPHEN).
The test script inserts some text at the top of an open document. It then
inserts a
variable into this text.
This happens with any FM since version 10 and ESTK 4.0.0.1 (CC).
#target framemaker
TestInsertVariable (); //
=======================================================
function TestInsertVariable () {
var paraText = "Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the
countries
Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. "
var oDoc = app.ActiveDoc, sValue, sVarName, oTextLoc, oPgf, oTR;
if(oDoc.ObjectValid()) {
oPgf = oDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;
oTextLoc = new TextLoc(oPgf, 0);
oDoc.AddText(oTextLoc, paraText); // create a paragraph
oTextLoc = new TextLoc(oPgf, 17); // arbitrary place
sVarName = "GugusVariable";
// sValue = "--- Anything I want to see in my variable ---";
sValue = "\\+9\\st007\\st199\\st254\\st740\\st991"; // \ to be doubled in
string!
InsertVariable (oDoc, oTextLoc, sVarName, sValue);
} else {
alert ("Document does not exist or is invalid");
}
} //--- end TestInsertVariable
function InsertVariable (oDoc, oTextLoc, sVarName, sValue) {
// Arguments oDoc: current document
// oTextLoc: where to insert the variable
// sVarName: name of the variable, it may already be in the catalgoue
// sValue: contents of the variable
var oVar, oNewVar;
if (!oDoc.GetNamedVarFmt(sVarName).ObjectValid()) { // needs to be defined first
oNewVar = oDoc.NewNamedVarFmt(sVarName);
oNewVar.Fmt = sValue;
oVar = oDoc.NewAnchoredFormattedVar (oNewVar.Name, oTextLoc); // insert at
location
} else {
oVar = oDoc.NewAnchoredFormattedVar (sVarName, oTextLoc); // already
defined,
just insert
}
} //--- end InsertVariable
