The writing mechanism with "~Name"

Mode%=0 

Assume LPP=33.37 with the cell width in de knowledge base defined as 6 

TEMPLATE$("Length between PP: ~LPP [m]", 0, LPP) 

Steps taken bij Quaestor:

1. Remove ~LPP:

    Length between PP:

    

   [m]

2. Write value "33.37 " from position ~ :

    Length between PP: 33.37

    

Result:

In this case, insufficient spaces are left in the template between ~LPP and [m].

Mode%=1 

To obtain a better result, you can used the ReplaceMode%ReplaceMode%=1:

TEMPLATE$("Length between PP: ~LPP [m]", 1, LPP)

The writing mechanism with "#ParName#"

Assume LPP=33.37 with Assume with the cell width in de knowledge base defined as 6

TEMPLATE$("Length between PP: #LPP# [m]", 0, LPP)

Steps taken bij Quaestor:

1. Remove #LPP#: Length between PP:  [m]
2. Insert value "33.25" from former starting position of #LPP#: Length between PP: 33.25 [m]

Result:

"Length between PP: 33.25 [m]"

The writing mechanism with "#Parname|Format$#"

Assume LPP=33.37 with Assume  with the cell width in de knowledge base defined as 6

TEMPLATE$("Length between PP: #LPP|E8.3# [m]", 0, LPP)

 Result:"Length between PP: 0.334E+02 [m]"

The writing mechanism with "#Boolean Expression[Label]#Text to be placed[Label]"

TEMPLATE$("The model will be fitted with#NPROP=2[1]# two propellers and[1]#NPROP=1[1]# one propeller and[1] all appendages", 0, NPROP)

NPROP will be determined by Queastor because it is a parameter in this relation (InpVar).

This relation returns for NPROP=1 for  :

"The model will be fitted with one propeller and all appendages"

and returns for NPROP=2:

"The model will be fitted with two propellers and all appendages"

And for NPROP=0,

returns for :

And for ,"The model will be fitted with all appendages"

is returned.

In this example for both bolean actions the same label [1] is used. In "Text to be placed" further labels and nested logical constructs are allowed. However, Please note that [Label] in nested constructs should be different from [Label] of the surrounding construct. Using following numbers to label parts is a very convenient way.

The writing mechanism with nested "#Boolean Expression[Label]#Text to be placed[Label]"

TEMPLATE$("The model will be fitted with#NPROP>0[1]##NPROP=2[2]# two propellers and[2]#NPROP=1[2]# one propeller and[2][1] all appendages", 0, NPROP) 

This relation will give the same result as the previous example but now with a nested expression for NPROP.

...

Integer values can also be printed as words, however, only for 0-10:

TEMPLATE$("#NPROP|I2&English# propeller#NPROP><1[1]#s[1] fitted.", 0, NPROP)

Returns for NPROP=0(1)2 respectively:

"Zero propellers fitted." 
"One propeller fitted." 
"Two propellers fitted."

For NPROP=12

"No numeral {only 0-10} for: 12 propellers fitted."

for 

 respectively:

For 

is returned

The writing mechnisme for counters

A counter can be included in Template$ by "#&#", for example

TEMPLATE$("#&#) Wood 
#Option1[1]##&#) Polyester 
[1]#&#) Foam", 0, Option)

returns for Option=0:

"1) Wood 
2) Polyester 
3) Foam"

and for Option=1:

"1) Wood 
2) Foam"

returns for Option=0:

and for Option=1:

Instead Instead of integer counters, you can use english words first-tenth by using "%" instead of "&". For independent counters, the same principle is applied as above.

TEMPLATE$("#%#) Wood, #%%#) Polyester and #%%%#) Foam", 0)

returns:

"first) You see that Wood, first) Polyester and first) Foam"You see that Wood, Polyester and Foam all start Foam all start with first because they all have independent counters...
