\"\"Using the built-in string functions in Dynamics NAV usually gives you all the string manipulation options you need. But a common request is replacing a special char with a new string value. This example came from the previous post on SMTP Mail functionality in Pre Dynamics NAV 5 versions<\/a>. Mads from Denmark, ran into an issue with HTML encoding when using national chars like: \u00e6\u00f8\u00e5\u00c6\u00d8\u00c5. For some reason the HTML emails worked fine at my local computer, here with US locale settings, but changing the values to their HTML encoded equivalent might be a good idea to get better compatability.<\/p>\n

Below you will find the simple function for doing this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is a simple example of how to HTML encode my name:<\/p>\n

\nt := 'S\u00f8ren';\nmessage(t);\nInsertVariableValue(t,'\u00f8','&amp;oslash;');\nmessage(t);\n\nInsertVariableValue(VAR Formula : Text[30];VariableName : Text[30];VariableValue : Text[30])\nWHILE STRPOS(Formula,VariableName) &lt;&gt; 0 DO BEGIN\nPos := STRPOS(Formula,VariableName);\nFormula := DELSTR(Formula,Pos,STRLEN(VariableName));\nFormula := INSSTR(Formula,DELCHR(FORMAT(VariableValue),'=',','),Pos);\nEND;<\/pre>\n
This function was previously discussed in this post: Evaluate Formulas in Dynamics NAV<\/a> and also on numerous posts on Mibuso<\/a> and DynamicsUser<\/a>. Hope you can use this Mads, and also you other readers :).<\/p>\n
