In some cases, FactoryLogix allows you to manually edit Smart Text by adding additional processing instructions to the Smart text placeholders (that is, instead of only being able to select a Smart Text placeholder from a drop-down). If you want to add additional processing instructions to a Smart Text placeholder, use this format:

Code Block
<$Type [|Function,Parameters [...]]$>


Element

Description

Type

Type identifies the information that will replace the Smart Text placeholder. Type is the only required element. 

| (pipe character)

Identifies the start of an additional processing instruction.

Function

Identifies any additional processing that will be applied to the value that replaces the Smart Text placeholder. These functions are supported:

  • SUBASSY

Info

Important

The SUBASSY function is limited to use with the <$Barcode$> Smart Text placeholder only.

  • SUBSTR

  • REPLACE

Parameters

A comma-separated list of values that varies depending on the function.

...

  • If you don't define any additional processing instructions, the Smart Text placeholder uses the standard format:

Code Block
<$Type$>

  • If you define one or more additional processing instructions, each instruction is processed in order, from left to right.

  • To use one processing instruction, use the following format:

Code Block
<$Type|Function,Parameters$>

  • To use multiple processing instructions, specify each additional processing instruction to the right of the previous instruction:

Code Block
<$Type|Function,Parameters|Function,Parameters$>

SUBASSY, SUBSTR, and REPLACE functions
