Hi,

We have some xml-like formatted fields (like <name><fname>john</fname><lname>doe</lname></name>) in our database and i would like to extract some parts of the xml to be printed in a report. My idea was to use the onBeforePrint Event to extract the data from the XML and put that in the report, but i can't find any documentation on the text manipulation functions available in fastscript. does this mean these functions don't exist or ami looking in the wrong places? Suggestions for other solutions to the problem are welcome too!

Thanks, Gertjan

    a memoview has a memo property which is a 0 based array of twidestrings
    memo view also supports limited html tags
    and most string functions are available in the designer data window function tab page.
    memo1.memo.
    you have limited codecompletion in the designer so you can ctrl+spbar to see what is available

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
