Yes, but only if the code consists of variables and/or functions. Lets
assume you have the following code in a DB
The time is now #now()#.
Now if you do a query and that line is now contained in the variable
qQuery.text then all you have to do in order to 'evaluate' it is:
#Evaluate('#qQuery.text#')#
Now this looks like it breaks every rule I state about evaluation and pound
signs but that's on purpose. The inner pound signs say that what you have is
a variable and the quotes say that the variable is part of a text string.
First thing to happen is that qQuery.text will be turned into its value.
You'll now have
#Evaluate('The time is now #now()#')#
The evaluate() function will now try and evaluate the TEXT STRING that you
have there. As its evaluating it'll see a function and turn it into its
value. The final result is
The time is now 1/11/71/ 6:43:20
or whatever for the time value. A little hack based on knowledge of how
evaluation works. Pity you can't do this with tags.
