For instance (br) causes the next line etc. My question was is there some sort of a property I can change to make them not function in this particular text component in the report. Actually if there is a way to get rid of them before they hit the report makes more sense. So I will try your code in a program leading up to the report. Now that I understand that they are a problem I can try to eliminate them by program or manually from now on. Not a big deal now that I understand it is probably not possible in the report. > Well, again using a textLabel would ignore them, but it would display them. This function was written for the Web Tutorial project, and works pretty well -- it removes tags (between < and >) and seems to do okay if there is, say a lone < or a lone > in the string ... function stripTags( cString ) private nBracket, nStart, nEnd nBracket = AtCount( "<", cString ) // function below from :dUFLP:StringEx.cc // loop through, finding each occurance of the < symbol, // and going to the > symbol: if nBracket > 0 // if we have any at all: do while AtCount( "<", cString ) > 0 // loop until done nStart = at( "<", cString ) nEnd = at( ">", cString ) // if no > symbol, there's no HTML tag ... if nEnd > 0 cString = stuff( cString, nStart, (nEnd - nStart + 1 ), "" ) else exit // out of loop endif // nEnd > 0 enddo // loop endif // nBracket > 0 return cString // end of method: stripTags() Ken -- *Ken Mayer* Ken's dBASE Page: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase The dUFLP: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/index.htm#duflp dBASE Books: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Books/dBASEBooks.htm dBASE Tutorial: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/Tutorial/00_Preface.htm dBASE Web Tutorial: http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/WebTutorial/00_Menu.htm | |
