Hi,

I was fiddling around with autotext, and turns out there are several "variables"
such as:
%D will automatically expand it to date
%T will expand time
%B is (
%b is )
%p phone number
%P pin
%V BB OS version
%o user id

So my question is... Are there other variables that aren't undocumented yet? Searching through archives, yield nothing.

'Coz I tend to send mini statement to my boss, say Profit for current month, and the "current month" is replaced with whatever month is now.

Thanks
Henry

Just press delete until it goes back to the actual text you typed in.

There are quite a few others.

But you're going to keep the OP in suspense and not tell the "many others?"

There are a lot. All you have to do is scroll through your autotext and you will see them. You can add your own or even remove ones that you don't want. So if the "current month" is messing you up, then you can delete it from autotext and no more issues. Although I must say, that I don't know of "current month" being in the default autotext (unless you created it).

This article sort of links with the discussion.

Ahh, so that's the correct term, macros. Thanks akosnitzky!

I wonder if there are hidden macros that aren't published yet....

They are all listed in autotext. No undocumented ones, as they would have to be in there to be executed. There are standard defaults that comes with your BlackBerry, and you can add your own.

Being a picker of nits, let me say that if you can't find anything written, then they ARE UNdocumented.

I don't understand the statement "aren't undocumented yet". Are you looking for things that ARE NOT YET NOT documented?

but then again... nevermind.
