Formatting the Results from the Date Search
You will add a formatting function within the case “Date” to reformat the date.
This function can be your own format function, or can call the
LibFreeForm_FormatDate function found in the Lib_FreeForm.ifv example script.
X To format the results
1 Copy the following script file to the clipboard:
<Installation Path>\examples\Solicitors Letters\config\Lib_FreeForm.ifv.
2 Paste it to the following folder:
<Installation Path>\config\.
3 In Definer, insert the following line after the “Option Explicit” line at the top
of the current script:
#INCLUDE Lib_FreeForm.ifv
This makes all the functions within the included script (Lib_FreeForm.ifv)
accessible from the file you are working on.
4 Return to the MatchValue_Format function by selecting it from the
“Declarations” drop down list at the top right of the script.
