Description
stripattributes removes character attributes (bold, italic, and underline), frames, and rulers from Source and puts the result in Target.
Note: Characters that are not known in the target character set are not stripped from the string, unlike the behavior in Uniface 8 in which they were stripped.
Using stripattributes
The following ProcScript example shows how character attributes are stripped from field UNIFIELD, so the text can be used in field EDITBOX:
MYFIELD = "aaabbb" stripattributes MYFIELD, EDITBOX ; EDITBOX contains "aaabbb" and the value of $status is 1.
