Hi,

I accidentally submitted this in the wrong thread so I copied and pasted it here.

I have used the free version and love it. I am not familiar with scripting in the pro version but have some questions before I proceed to purchase it. I have created a reservation system/property management system and am wanting to generate confirmation pages based on each individual reservation. Will the script function enable me to extract custom information from each individual reservation (such as date of arrival, type of package...). The site was created with visual studio in asp.net format, but is all web-based. I would have liked to do it all open sourced, but there is no personnel locally that can assist me.

I really appreciate what you have done thus far.

HI WizKid,

Here is a sample of a confirmation letter that I use. The name, date of arrival, day of the week, number of people and pricing I would like to be able to have extracted into my form e-mail. The information would be changing constantly.

I tried to put the coding in html but it did not come thorugh.

I hope I am being clear in my description. I have had a programmer set up my web-site with my direction, but I am wanting to take over to customize things a little more to make it more error free in our confirmations.

I run a small establishment and would love to see this feature work for me. I just want to make sure I am on the right track before I proceed.

Thanks,
Dean.

So you get that email and you want to extract information from it? That is not possible.

No,

I am wanting to extract the information from my local intranet pages and extract the information from them. They are set up in asp.net so they are dynamically driven. Can quicktext extract from pages that have changing dynamic content? The form id's don't change, just the intranet id. For each reservation that we have coming in we open it up to a web-driven page. The html does not change from reservation to reservation, just the dynamic content (mssql). In order to use quicktext would the copy/paste function work for multiple cells?

Hi WizKid,

I went ahead and purchased the pro version and I like the flexibility already. It will help me compose my confirmation letters with more ease.

On the scripting, is it possible to copy values that are scripted in? If I have [[INPUT=name|script|customer name]] in one portion of the form, can I copy that "INPUT" value and have it repeated later on so I don't have to enter it again?

Dean.

PS - This is an amazing program. I am hooked!

If you have several input-tags with the same name you will only be asked once.

With one exception. If you have the input-tag in both the subject and body you will be asked twice but that is a bug that will be fixed in the next version.
