Cycle items with textformat

Hi there,
I currently try to edit the contents of a cycle-item during runtime of the application.
So I use mui.CreateObject with a fresh new "Object-Tree".
This is to produce the new xml:

Code: Select all

Function p_TeamItemsbyPosition(positiontext)
     DebugPrint("p_TeamItemsbyPosition")
     Local items$="<item>None</item>\n"
     mui.DoMethod("playerlistcleanall", "Sort", 1)
     for Local n = 0 to mui.get("playerlistcleanall","Entries")-1
         column1$, column2$,column3$ = mui.DoMethod("playerlistcleanall", "GetEntry", n)
         If(column2$ = positiontext)
            items$ = items$.."<item>\27b"..column2$.." - "..column3$.."\27n</item>\n"
         Else
            items$ = items$.."<item>"..column2$.." - "..column3$.."</item>\n"
         EndIf()
     Next
     Return(items$)
EndFunction
this leads to an xml like this:

Code: Select all

		<rectangle/>
	 </vgroup>
     </vgroup>
Which is not well-formed.
How do i have to set the text of an Item to be partially bold?

Code: Select all

  items$ = items$.."<item>\27b"..column2$.." - "..column3$.."\27n</item>\n"

XML uses octal notation for escape codes, see here for details. So you have to do the following:

Code: Select all

items$ = items$.."<item>\\33b"..column2$.." - "..column3$.."\\33n</item>\n"
Then it should work. Also note the two backslashes. These are necessary because we want to have the sequence "\33b" in the XML. To get this we first have to escape the backslash by duplicating it.

I see.
I missed to double the \\.

Can you maybe put that into the documentation?

You also missed that 27 needs to be 33. I'll see if I can add this information to the MUI Royale documentation.

It was not missed to have to set \27 but it didn't work in first place.
So I changed to \33
but as we know by now that was not the real problem.

When updating documentation, please give some examples to point others to the need of good escaping.

From current documentation it did not come to my mind to check for double \.


Thank you
