Participant EDML files 279

If the participant text is long and complex, you might need multiple patterns to update a single

parameter, as shown in the following example:

<% ...

Recordset1.CursorType = 0;

Recordset1.CursorLocation = 2;

Recordset1.LockType = 3;

To update the recordset name in all three positions, you need three update patterns for a single

parameter, as shown in the following example:

/(\b)\w+(\.CursorType)/

</updatePattern>

/(\b)\w+(\.CursorLocation)/

</updatePattern>

/(\b)\w+(\.LockType)/

</updatePattern>

Now you can pass in a new value for the recordset, and it is precisely updated in three locations.

<updatePattern> attributes

The following items are valid attributes of the updatePattern tag.
