[scotthyde1]

Hi,

but no matter what syntax I try I just get concatenated text

Please post the script that you are using and a trace capturing the call.

(Please .ZIP up files before posting)

 

We can then see what happened and see what script is trying to do, and we can better advise on what to do.

Hi,

 

Im realy just in concept mode at moment and relates to another question regarding minimising file size etc...

 

I have file path from $RV_record....and I then pass this to an .exe which converts the .wav to .mp3.

 

so I am left with original file name - except extension is .mp3 not .wav....

 

this is all ok

 

But now I want to EMAIL the NEW file ie c:\path\file.mp3....but im having trouble getting this new name with mp3 extension into a variable so I can use in the send email module. -- we were going to FTP the new file but our sharepoint site recieves and proceeses email.

 

thanks

You could use something like this in the Evaluate Expression module:

 

Replace($RV[RecModuleTitle], ".wav", ".mp3")

 

The result with .wav replaced by .mp3 will be saved in new $RV.

Thanks very much will try this and let you know the result

Cheers

look to be same output ie result in the email body

 

 

replace(C:\Program

Files\VoiceGuide\data\VmSave\0910142054_1_0298795649.wav,.wav,.mp3)

 

So the $RV[Record] is recgnised but function isnt again

 

 

NOTE ; the way I am testing is by putting the NEW $RV into the body of the email (as ooposed to the atachment box which is what Ill do when actually convert the file)

But this should make a differcen should it as NEW $RV should be output of replace?

[SupportTeam]

Try:

 

Replace("$RV[RecModuleTitle]", ".wav", ".mp3")

 

Can you post the vgEngine or vgm trace? (.ZIPed)

[scotthyde1]

That has worked!

 

cheers

always cobnfused when I should use "'{] or not!
