TGML 1

[hedidit]

Hi all,

I've written a set of forums for our company intranet that are working great however users want to be able to easily add hyperlinks into their posts.

I sometimes use TGML on tek-tips and was wondering how they work as I'd like to do the same thing but with just hyperlinks ?

Can anyone give me any pointers? I guess it'll involve InStr and replace etc?

Cheers in advance

For a markup system I have an array

Sample of the array;

ReplaceCode(11,0) = "[ red]"
ReplaceCode(11,1) = "<span style=" & chr(34) & "color:red;" & chr(34) & ">"
ReplaceCode(12,0) = "[/red]"
ReplaceCode(12,1) = "</span>"
ReplaceCode(13,0) = "[ blue]"
ReplaceCode(13,1) = "<span style=" & chr(34) & "color:blue;" & chr(34) & ">"
ReplaceCode(14,0) = "[/blue]"
ReplaceCode(14,1) = "</span>"
ReplaceCode(15,0) = "[ green]"
ReplaceCode(15,1) = "<span style=" & chr(34) & "green;" & chr(34) & ">"
ReplaceCode(16,0) = "[/green]"
ReplaceCode(16,1) = "</span>"

(added space after "[" so the TGML processor doesn't pick it up)
Then a function the loops through the array and replaces the markup tags.

function ReplaceGenMarkUp(strIn)
dim i
for i = 0 to ubound(ReplaceCode,1)
	strIn = replace(strIn, ReplaceCode(i,0), ReplaceCode(i,1))
next
ReplaceGenMarkUp = strIn
end function

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

That's great thanks Chris...

Have a star as this certainly isn't the first time you've helped me out and that link / example is just the thing!
