Str.StringToValue

What is the largest string you can put into the Str.StringToValue function? I have a string that is 1110 characters and the Livelink services stops as soon as it hits the following line of code:destAttrList = str.StringToValue(destAttrValues[1])

Bryan,there are some HTML characters that cannot be interpreted by Str.StringToValue. Thus the result of Str.StringToValue is a StringType (ErrorType or undefined) not a ListLype.I assume that the original source from that String or the String List is a WebLingo and you have forgotten the %L command to tell the HTML generator not to convert the String to HTML code.I have made a similiar function in my program and it is working perfectly:Somewhere in my WebLingo:Somewehre in my RequestHandler:RecArray MenuLoaded = Str.StringToValue( Web.Unescape( r.MenuLoaded ) );Hope this helpsMartin

thanks Martin,I actually just put the %L in front of everywhere I reference the stringfor example:or ;if IsDefined(.fDstFieldJavaScript) && length(.fDstFieldJavaScript) > 0 ;String fDstFldCatValue = str.ValueToString(.fDstFldCatValue) `.fDstFieldJavaScript`("`%LfDstFldCatValue`"); ;end

Hi,That's great. 8-)I have two annotations:- If you can ensure, that dstCat does not contain any quotation marks you can ommit the function call Web.Escape as I have done in my example. Otherwise the input field value stops at that quotation mark and your user will see some Oscript stuff in his browser view. Indeed I have made that mistake in my first version of that program and it looks awful.- You do not need to convert your list variable to a string type before using the accent notationHope this helpsMartin
