What's the code you're using for (Rule(Address1FONTRULE))?

Please copy and paste the your secondary rule so we can see how it's written. The (Rule(Address1FONTRULE)) rule.

[fusionpro] Re: Combining 2 rules to function properly
here is the Address1FONTRULE. its quite lengthy.
//a variable string1 is defined to hold content of the field.
string1 = Field(Address1);
//the following 2 variable values need to be changed to the desired fonts
var changedChars_font = MetaPlusBook;
var non_changedChars_font = MetaPlusBookCaps;
//new_string1 will contain the return value
new_string1 = ;
//create reusable strings that have the f Name tags for font changes
changedChars_font_tag = f Name = + changedChars_font + ;
non_changedChars_font_tag = f Name = + non_changedChars_font + ;
//count the characters in the input string
charCount = string1.length;
//set a flag variable to signify if a looked-for character is
encountered. Set to false initially.
found_lfc_flag = 0;
//a loop will be used to look at each character, determine if it is a
looked-for character,
//and decide if a point size tag is required.
for (x=1; x=charCount; x++)
{
//get a character from the string and its ASCII code
single_char = Mid(string1, x, 1);
ascii_code = Asc(single_char);
//if the ASCII code is between 47 and 57, the character is a number
if (ascii_code = 47 ascii_code = 57)
{
//At this point in the code, we know that the current char is a
looked-for character
//the found_lfc_flag tracks if the previous char was a number
//or not.
if (found_lfc_flag == 0)
{
//this code will set the flag to signify that a number was found
//and also add the tagged markup to the string to change the point
size.
found_lfc_flag = 1;
new_string1 = new_string1 + changedChars_font_tag;
}
}
else
{
//The else condition will execute if the current character is not a
looked-for character
//or if this is the first character in the string.
if (found_lfc_flag == 1 || x==1)
{
found_lfc_flag = 0;
new_string1 = new_string1 + non_changedChars_font_tag;
}
}
//lastly, the character we inspected is added to the string.
new_string1 = new_string1 + single_char;
}
return new_string1;

[fusionpro] Re: Combining 2 rules to function properly
Again... without knowing all the parts you're using to create the final results you could simply return the longer rule itself by changing the second line. Inside the longer rule, replace the second line stating: string1 = Field(Address1); with: string1 = 1234567890 main street + 'p' + anywhereville, ca 92075 or something that matches your data: string1 = Field(Address1) + br + Field(City) + , + Field (State) + + Field(Zip); and make sure to check the Treat string as tagged text box. Outside of that, why are you using an If/Then statement? Do you have fixed location addresses that require different forced full addresses? Let us know if this works for what you're trying to do.

[fusionpro] RE: Combining 2 rules to function properly
Well, you could change the order in which you're returning things from your
rule so that the tags in the other rule modify the literal strings, like so:
return Rule(Address1FONTRULE) + 1234567890 main street +
'p' + anywhereville, ca 92075;
But, I don't think that will do what you're trying to accomplish. You want the
numbers and letters in 1234567890 main street to be in different fonts,
right? Simply calling the one rule and appending more text to that result
won't do it.
It seems that what you're trying to do here is to have one rule pass input
parameters to another rule. Unfortunately, you can't do that, since rules
don't take parameters. You could set some global variables in the first
(caller) rule and have the second (callee) rule access them. But, what you
really want to do in a case like this is to make a function.
Fortunately, turning a rule into a function is very easy. All you have to do
is cut-and-paste the body of the rule into a function block, like so:
function MyFunctionName()
{
// copy the rule's code here
}
Then add the parameters between the parentheses after the function name. The
function can be defined either in your JavaScript Globals or in the rule which
is calling it.
In your case, it looks like you want to use the Address1FONTRULE as a function.
It seems that you have one parameter called string1. So, the function would
look something like this:
function AddressFonts(string1, changedChars_font, annon_changedChars_font)
{
var changedChars_font = MetaPlusBook;
var non_changedChars_font = MetaPlusBookCaps;
//new_string1 will contain the return value
new_string1 = ;
// COPY ALL THE REST OF THE RULE AFTER THE LINE ABOVE HERE
}
You can give the function whatever name you want. Once you have the function,
you can call it with the parameters you want. For instance:
return AddressFonts(1234567890 main street + 'p' + anywhereville, ca
92075);
Or simply:
return AddressFonts(Field(Address1));
You could also make changedChars_font and non_changedChars_font parameters of
the function if you want. You can even make them optional by providing
defaults, like so (sorry for the wrapping in the email):
function AddressFonts(string1, changedChars_font_in,
annon_changedChars_font_in)
{
var changedChars_font = changedChars_font_in || MetaPlusBook;
var non_changedChars_font = annon_changedChars_font_in ||
MetaPlusBookCaps;
//new_string1 will contain the return value
new_string1 = ;
// COPY ALL THE REST OF THE RULE AFTER THE LINE ABOVE HERE
}
By the way, a much shorter version of the function would be:
function AddressFonts(string1, changedChars_font_in,
annon_changedChars_font_in)
{
var changedChars_font = changedChars_font_in || MetaPlusBook;
var non_changedChars_font = annon_changedChars_font_in ||
MetaPlusBookCaps;
return f name=\ + non_changedChars_font + \ +
s.replace(/\d+/g, f name=\ + changedChars_font + \$/f) +
/f;
}
Regular expressions rock!
