Newbies monki_sf Posted September 13, 2005 Newbies Posted September 13, 2005 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
mr_vodka Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 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.
