But to understand the Format operator a little bit more, it would be
useful to understand how choice formats works in Active4D.
And if there are more features from the ICU Library which could be
useful there.
The Active4D docs point to the general message format page:
http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classMessageFormat.html
The important part is a little down, after "The pattern is of the
following form. Legend:".
$format:="<tr><td>{0}</td><td>{1}</td><td>{2}</td></tr>"
write($format %% ( "abc";"";"xyz" )) //-> "<tr><td>abc</
td><td>-</td><td>xyz</td></tr>"
The condition is: IF value is empty take "-" ELSE take the value.
$format := "<tr><td>{0,choice,0#-|0<{1}}</td><td>{2,choice,2#-|2<{3}}</
td><td>{4,choice,4#-|4<{5}}</td></tr>"
$a := "abc"
$b := "def"
$c := ""
write($format %% (length($a); $a; length($b); $b; length($c); $c))
Please read the ICU documentation a few times and try to figure out
what is going on before asking for more help. It took me a few times
reading the documentation and playing around with the formats to
figure out how they worked.
