Hi All,
I hope this it not too basic of a question. I got some help with a plugin that needed to change one parameter by having that parameter replaced with a variable. I now understand that I have to turn the whole command into a string and then use an &variable to fire the command string. So far so good. What I don't understand is why I need to have a "+" sign before and after the variable inside quotes. How does rbase interpret, |path_name ' + .vstartdrive + ' + ??
Why not just |path_name .vstartdrive +
or
Why not |path_name '.vstartdrive' +
What do the two extra "+" signs do??
--this works just fine, I just don't know why it works.....
SET V vstartdrive = .vfromdrive
SET VAR vcommand = ('PLUGINS LoadDirectoryName.rbl vfromdrive +
|fullpath on +
|TITLE where are the unfiled docs? +
|path_name ' + .vstartdrive + ' +
|delete_button on +
|context_menus on +
|read_only off +
|ole_drag on +
|ole_drop on +
|create_folder_icon on +
|delete_folder_icon on')
SET VAR vcommand = ('PLUGINS LoadDirectoryName.rbl vfromdrive +
|fullpath on +
|TITLE where are the unfiled docs? +
|path_name ' + .vstartdrive + ' +
|delete_button on +
|context_menus on +
|read_only off +
|ole_drag on +
|ole_drop on +
|create_folder_icon on +
|delete_folder_icon on')
&vcommand
Thanks!
Mike
