Okay, it works great, but I was wondering if there might be a way to print a comma and a space instead of pipes between each selected option.

Thanks,

$rec{'FieldName'} =~ s/$db_delim/, /g;

The delimiter (however you have defined it in your .cfg file) is part of the structure of DBMan. Changing it in the .db file would require a whole lot of changing in a whole lot of subroutines. If you just put the line above in sub html_record, it'll give the same effect.

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean that I should copy and paste over the multiple select fields what you have below and just change "fieldname" to whatever the field name is?


Michael DeLong

No. Add that line to sub html_record, just after

my (%rec) = @_;

and change the name of the field to match your select field.

This will cause all of the | characters to be replaced by a "comma-space" before they are printed out.

Okay, I did that but now there is a ", " between each and every character. Like this:
", P, r, e, s, i, d, e, n, t, "


Michael DeLong

Then try

$rec{'FieldName'} =~ s/\|/, /g;

Perfect, thanks JPD! How do get so good at this stuff??

Thanks,

Glad to help.

It's all experience. I first picked up DBMan three years ago (almost to the day). At that point, I knew nothing about Perl at all. I taught myself about the script by reading it and by buying a few books on Perl.

At that point, there was no one who was willing to help me to work with the script. I had to learn it if I wanted to use the script as I wanted it to be. Sometimes I think I'm not doing folks any favors by giving them answers to their questions.
