Nicola,
Had a chance to think about this for a while, and I came up with something you
can use. It's not simply one rule, but a rule that calls a function. In your
text box, simply make sure that you allow it to remove empty lines, and
everything should come out fine.
Here's the function that I call tabCount and is put into the javaScript Global
area...
function tabCount(xline,str) {
var dataOut = '';
var s = str;
for (x=1;x<xline;x++) {
dataOut += '<t>';
}
dataOut += s;
return dataOut;
}
Here's the text rule that I call tabbedLineOut that you place into the text
box...
lineNbr = 0;
strOutput = '<p
tabstops=0;900,Left,,;1800,Left,,;2700,Left,,;3600,Left,,;4500,Left,,;5400,Left,,;>';
if (Field("Name") != "") {
lineNbr++;
strOutput += '<br>' + tabCount(lineNbr, Field("Name"));
}
if (Field("Title") != "") {
lineNbr++;
strOutput += '<br>' + tabCount(lineNbr, Field("Title"));
}
if (Field("Address") != "") {
lineNbr++;
strOutput += '<br>' + tabCount(lineNbr, Field("Address"));
}
if (Field("Phone") != "") {
lineNbr++;
strOutput += '<br>' + tabCount(lineNbr, Field("Phone"));
}
if (Field("Fax") != "") {
lineNbr++;
strOutput += '<br>' + tabCount(lineNbr, Field("Fax"));
}
if (Field("E-mail") != "") {
lineNbr++;
strOutput += '<br>' + tabCount(lineNbr, Field("E-mail"));
}
if (Field("Web") != "") {
lineNbr++;
strOutput += '<br>' + tabCount(lineNbr, Field("Web"));
}
return strOutput;
You need to select "Treat as tagged string" in the rule editor. Also, you may
need to play with the tabstop settings a bit to get exactly the look you want.
These are currently set to increase by .125" (9 pts) with each successive tab.
Whether you are closing from the top down or the bottom up, this works. Give it
a try, and don't be confused by any line breaks in the rule as you're reading
it, that's probably just the way e-mail sends it.
Good Luck,
