The Joys (and pains) of Send URL

Featured Replies

Happy Friday all,

I'm working on a project and i want to be able to take a few fields from my solution. Wrap them into a nice mailto:url and compose an email.

The reason I am using a mailto command over say the send mail script step is because when using send mail the email window is model. This is an issue because my users want to be be able to copy and paste various other bits of info from inside filemaker (This info varies).

Now the issue. My mailto line is as follows:

"Mailto:?body=%0A%0AREQUEST:%0A" & PROJ::Request & "%0A%0APROBLEM STATEMENT:%0A" & PROJ::ProblemStatement & "%0A%0ADISPOSITION: " & PROJ::Disposition & "%0A" & PROJ::DispositionNote

This will work when the fields DO NOT contain any "" characters(There are a few other special characters i need to further investigate as well). I would like to leave the text as they were entered in the field.

Does anyone know the acceptable syntax for the " character so i can run those fields through the substitute function?

Why not use the GetAsURLEncoded() function?
