On Saturday, July 28, 2001, at 7:49:40 PM, you scribbled that:
A>> %IF:'%DOW'='Sunday':'Enjoy your Sunday!':'%-
A>> %IF:''%DOW''=''Saturday'':''Enjoy your Saturday!'':''%-
A>> %IF:'''%DOW'''='''Friday''':'''Enjoy your weekend!''':'''%-
A>> Take care!'''%-''%-'
A>> Enjoy your Sunday!Sunday'''='''Friday''':'''Enjoy your weekend!''':'''Take
care!''''''
> %IF:'%DOW'='Sunday':'Enjoy your Sunday!':'%-
> %IF:''%DOW''=''Saturday'':''Enjoy your Saturday!'':''%-
> %IF:"%DOW"="Friday":"Enjoy your weekend!":"%-
> Take care!"%-''%-'
A>> Also, the exponential growth of quotation marks as more
A>> conditions are added to the %IF macro (even if it did work as
A>> expected) threatens to get out of hand.
Uuuugh. That's why I suggested converting the "quoted" macros to (bracketed)
ones. Turning %IF:"expr"=="val":"true":"false" would look better as
%IF("expr"=="val":"true":"false"), as the brackets would clearly identify
where the %IF starts and ends. That goes for all %REGEXP... macros, and
probably all of them as well.
"Quoted" values were good for non-nested macros. I think it's high time to
upgrade on it.
