Hi Josh,
well...
CREATE CURSOR curMemo (mMemo M)
INSERT INTO curMemo VALUES ("This is a contrived example, but then, =
aren't they all?")
SET MEMOWIDTH TO 19
? MLINE(mMemo,1)
? MLINE(mMemo,2)
? MLINE(mMemo,3)
What Gene says is correct. You get the leading space.
If you ltrim you will also trim wanted leading space, eg:
Text To lcText noshow
This is another contrived example, but then, aren't they all?
Here is yet another paragraph, indented with 3 spaces.
Endtext
CREATE CURSOR curMemo (mMemo M)
INSERT INTO curMemo VALUES (lcText)
SET MEMOWIDTH TO 18
for i=3D1 to Memlines(mMemo)
? MLINE(mMemo,i)
endfor i
leads to:
This is another
contrived=20
example, but then,
aren't they all?
Here is yet=20
another paragraph,
indented with 3=20
spaces.
What's wanted is:
This is another
contrived=20
example, but then,
aren't they all?
Here is yet=20
another paragraph,
indented with 3=20
spaces.
But even that looks bad. Paragraph width is of course
much too small to make a readable text. Even better
would be hyphenation and blocktext. In the end it's a
word processor task to come up with something like
this:
This is another con-
trived example, but=20
then, aren't they all?
Here is yet another
paragraph, indented
with 3 spaces.
I'd still go with word automation for this task.
It can hyphanate word, have blocktext by increasing
spacing between words *and* increasing spacing
between letters, which would work even better for
example on the second lines of both paragraphs.
Bye, Olaf.
