Those are default textmerge delimiters. When foxpro does a textmerging it interprets any text as plain text as if you wrote exactly as is. When it engounters the delimiters replaces text in delimiters with the expression result. ie:myBDate = {^1961/1/1}
text to m.lcTest TEXTMERGE noshow
Today is <<transform(date(),'@YL'>>.
Now I'm <<year(date())-year(m.myBDate)>> years old.
This is ASCII value of A :<<asc('A')>>
endtextNote that though the expression results are of different types textmerging takes care of it and easier then using string concatanation, ? etc.
Also there is another (actually more than one) textmerge :use employee
set textmerge to memvar m.lcHTML noshow
set textmerge on
\\<HTML><BODY><TABLE border="1">
\<TR><TH>First Name</TH><TH>Last Name</TH></TR>
scan
\<TR><TD><<First_Name>></TD><TD><<Last_Name>></TD></TR>
endscan
\</TABLE></BODY></HTML>
set textmerge to
set textmerge off
StrToFile(m.lcHTML, "c:\CheckMe.htm")
\ and \\ stand for ? and ?? for textmerge. Only those lines would be written to destination. IOW for scan..endscan part it's something like :...
scan
m.lcHTML = m.lcHTML + chr(13) +;
"<TR><TD>"+First_Name+"</TD><TD>"+Last_Name+"</TD></TR>"
endscan
