How do I retain/copy a symbol between attributes and dxl.
Specifically I have an attribute that defines a range as pi/2. (using the math symbol for pi)
That imported and displays quite happily.
I have a dxl column that needs to merge that attribute and another.
How do I get the merged data to show the pi symbol? all I get is p/2.
I can see in the RTF that the fontTable is Symbol.
Is there an easier way than breaking the source string into parts and rebuilding it piece by piece?

Hi
Try:
string myPiCharacterText = richText(objectWithThatText."Attribute with That Text");
objectWichShallGetThePi."Attribute which shall get the PI" = richText(myPiCharacterText );
Should work
Best regards

I want to display the value on the screen, merged with another attribute's text.
what I have to work with is:-
AttrRange contains "-pi/2 to pi/2"
AttrValue contains "0 when at rest"
Screen/exported text is to display "Range -pi/2 to pi/2, 0 when at rest" (or similar for other ranges/values).
It looks as though DOORS can interpret/translate what it reads from an attribute correctly, but not when dealing with a user string.
I suppose I could create a scratch attribute to hold the final text, it just seems inelegant.

That does work, but is not what I was looking for. Sorry, I wasn't clear

displayRich "Range" (richText obj."AttrRange") "," (richText obj."AttrValue")
I got so focused on the richText, forgot to use displayRich.
Thanks, that's it.
