I've had far worse! :-)
Yes, I use the memo field for storing data for which there is not
another spot. I could reuse an existing field, but that doesn't
appeal to me. So I set up attributes between pairs of tags thus:
<aka>Jim</aka>
<closing>Regards</closing>
<receipts>read delivery</receipts>
To retrieve those values I use a macro called Get_Memo_Attribute which
looks like
---[Start Get_Memo_Attribute]---
%Rem='
Usage:
<attribute value>=%QInclude(Get_Memo_Attribute,"Tag","Default_Value")
'%-
%If:'%SetPattRegExp="(?im)^<%_1"%RegExpMatch="%ABToMemo"'='':'%_2'%-
:'%If:+%SetPattRegExp="(?im)^(<%_1/>)"%RegExpMatch="%ABToMemo"+<>++:++%-
:+%SetPattRegExp="(?im)^(?:<%_1>)(.*?)(?:</%_1>)"%RegExpMatch="%ABToMemo"+'%-
----[End Get_Memo_Attribute]----
As described in the macro, you call it from another macro or template
by using something like
%QInclude(Get_Memo_Attribute,"closing","Yours Sincerely")
In the example above it would return "Regards". If there was not an
attribute between a starting tag <closing> and an ending tag
</closing>, it would return "Yours Sincerely".
You can also assign the value to a temporary variable by using
%_temp=%QInclude(Get_Memo_Attribute,"closing","Yours Sincerely")
Is that useful?
