Storing text in LotusScript
By Tony Patton
Here's a tip for storing a large amount of text in LotusScript.
There are many times when I need to store large amounts of text, usually multiple lines, in LotusScript code. One good example is printing HTML, where I store the necessary code in variables, using it as needed.
Enclosing the text in either curly braces {}, or the pipe symbol, provides an easy solution. They allow me to store large amounts of multi-line text and preserve all line feeds. Here's a small example where I use the technique to store the HTML for a footer.
Const FOOTER={
<!- Begin Footer ->
All rights reserved<BR>
<a href="copyright.html">
@2005</a>
Company Name
<!- End Footer ->
}
|
One great aspect of this approach is the preservation of new line characters, it improves the readability of your HTML code as well as your LotusScript code.
