an item db.
|
ok im just trying to set up a real simple db with like 3 fields. item name item type and general info. the first 2 are pretty self explanitory :-p but for general info i jsut want to include the entire selection from when i cast identify on the item.. i seem to be having some trouble capturing multipule lines of text and storing it in the db. ive tried to use capture to capture every line up until i hit the prompt again but it tends to capture my prompt as well. anyone have any ideas? oh heres what id looks like including my prompt so you can take a look. thanks

Use the blank line instead of the prompt:
#ALIAS id {c id %-1;#VAR general "";#T+ getId}
#TRIGGER {$} {#VAR general %leftback(@general, 1);#T- getId} "getId"
#TRIGGER {(*)} {#VAR general %concat(@general, "%1", %cr)} "getId"
Also, be sure that the field in the database where you are going to enter this is a Memo field.

Since the first field in your #ADDKEY is non-numeric, it's the name of a database-variable, @eq, not the name of the database eq. You can use the #NEW command to add the information in the variable to the database.
#NEW all {@eq}
Also, when you use variables in your commands it's a good idea to enclose them in braces {}. This prevents them from being used to fill more than one field when they contain multiple words.
#Addkey eq name {@item}
