SUMMARY
Embedded variables in prompts can be done by inserting the variables in chevrons into the message, pause, set, or ask instruction. The following is an example:
<<set variable=? text<<thing>>more text>>
<<message text<<thing>>more text>>
<<pause text<<thing>>more text>>
Text strings in the instructions below do not have to be quoted. Variables embedded in the strings have to be surrounded by chevrons, as follows:
<<ask variable=?text>>
<<set variable=?text>>
<<message text>>
<<pause text>>
Text strings in the instructions below have to be quoted. Everything else is assumed to be a variable, as follows:
<<set variable="text">>
<<if variable op “text”">>
<<while variable op “text”>>
<<set result=len("text")>>
<<set result=mid("text",start,count)>>
<<set result=“text1” variable “text2”>>
