Displaying using [ ]

I am sure a while ago I found two helpful tricks for displaying text or number using [ ].

For example [sel_name] has one that separated selections names, so that, instead of [sel_name] giving ChaseTheDollar, it returned Chase The Dollar.

The other was with numbers, when using [ ] to display a calculated variable instead of diplaying £126.20000000 it would display £126.20.

Nagging in my brain that these exist but I cannot find them.

Hi
For the text use quotes ["sel_name"]

Not so sure about displaying two decimal places, you can remove the decimal fraction part using [INTEGER(expression)]. If it is for email output you could probably use a javascript function in the html.

Hi
Excellent doing my head in I thought brackets and all sorts.
Will try something with the e-mail html
Cheers

You can actually add HTML to your email text, use the latest version of MF Pro which supports it.

We are working on letting everybody adjust their email templates for trigger alerts and account statement reports.

That will be cool.
I use HTML code to send my e-mail trigger messages.
Sends my selection, result, profit loss, running profit loss depending on which trigger was used in a table format.
