Re: [WebDNA] Passing a text variable via copyfile
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2019
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 114907
interpreted = N
texte = 2535 > 2) You want [TEXT]name=richard[/TEXT] in the new page (this > is the bit that I am unsure of) If this is what he wants he would already be getting it with his existing code as long as his companion.html file contains the code [TEXT]name=richard[/TEXT]. But I think what he really wants is a new file that contains "richard". This requires WebDNA to interpret the code in his companion.html template so it can populate the [name] tag. But copyfile does not interpret WebDNA tags: The thing to remember about copyfile is that it invokes the OPERATING SYSTEM to make the copy. Therefore WebDNA is not involved in the actual file copying process, and this means any WebDNA tags in the original file will NOT be interpreted. I could have simplified my previous example code like this: [writefile ../[lowercase][page_name][/lowercase].html] [include companion.html] [/writefile] .... but sometimes creating separate steps in my code makes it easier to read and understand. Nevertheless this code should work fine if he wants "richard" to appear in the new file.
