    Create/replace action

    Hi all,

    I have never created a text file with a create/replace action to replace HTML pages. Furthermore, I am trying to fathom the true function/purpose of this process. Are there any examples that I could look at?

    My apologies for the dumb newbie Qs!

    Thanks!

    Nick.

    Re: Create/replace action

    Well let's say our HTML page looks like this:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY text="#000000">
    Hello World
    <BODY>
    </HTML>

    Then you could store that in a variable, and save the contents of that variable to a file, i.e. hello.html using TEXT FILE > WRITE action. You can take it a step further by storing this in your variable:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY text="#000000">
    ###MYMESSAGE###
    <BODY>
    </HTML>

    instead and then using a STRING > REPLACE action to change the value of ###MYMESSAGE### to whatever you like, i.e. "Hello World" at runtime, then the variable (with the message value now replaced) can be saved as an .html page.
