Here is a function I use for building "smart" strings. It adds two strings
together with the given delimiter if both exist. If the latter ("data") is
empty (a blank or all space string), just the former ("line") is returned.
If the former is blank, the latter is returned.
function AppendField(line, data, delim) {
if (RTrim(data) == "") return line;
// because of return, implicit else
if (line != "") {
return RTrim(line + delim + data);
} else {
return data;
}
}
Usage:
return ( AppendField(Field("Name"), Field("Title"), ", ") ; // note the
delimiter is a comma (,) followed by a space( ).
-or-
// Effective creates an address block with empty lines
omitted
Address = AppendField(Field("First"), Field("Middle"), " ");
Address = AppendField(Address, Field ("Last"), " ");
Address = AppendField(Address, Field ("Title"), ", ");
Address = AppendField(Address, Field ("Address1"), "\n"); // New Line
deliniation
Address = AppendField(Address, Field ("Address2"), "\n");
Line = AppendField(Field("City"), Field("State"), ", ");
Line = AppendField(Line, Field("Zip+4"), " "); // double space deliniation
Line = AppendField(Line, Field("ForeignCountry"), " ");
Address = AppendField(Address, Line, "\n");
return Address;
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Subject: [fusionpro] suppressing a comma
I have two fields for a Christmas Card.
Name, Title (centered in the middle of the card)
I would like to suppress the comma if no title entered, so Name will appear
by itself.
Is there a rule for this?
thanks,
Carrie
