September 13, 200520 yr Newbies Hi - I'm using filemaker dev 7. I have a pricing grid made up of quantities and prices at those quantities. 12 fields all together. I'm trying to create a calculation resulting in html which could then be exported. The problem I am having with my calculation is that filemaker see's some of the html and thinks its filemaker fields. Is there a symbol I can use that will tell filemaker to disregard whats in between the brackets or symbol and trat it as just text? I know you can use " " - problem is in html quotes are used. example of what i'm looking to achieve as a result of my calculation PRICING Quantity FM field FM field FM field FM field FM field field FM field FM field FM field FM field FM field
September 13, 200520 yr The '' Character is the escape key in FM. For example, if in a calc field, you have this: cTest = " "blah" " The result should be "blah" Another way of doing this is creating a global text field called gQuote and using that in your equation. However, I believe, with most HTML and most browsers can still read HTMl code without the quotes; not that its right to have code properly formatted.
