Need Help Creating Numbered List From Linked Data

Good Day All,

 

I have a nightmare job that links to external data that contains step by step directional data for the specific recipient referenced in the main data file. I have successfully pulled the directions in, but as yet, I have been unable to find a way for the steps to be numbered as per client request.

 

Any help from any of you FP Masters would be greatly appreciated.

 

Code used is as follows

 

returnStr = '';

 

if(FusionPro.Composition.isPreview == true || FusionPro.inValidation == true)

 

Rule("OnRecordStart");

 

numRecsExtDF = externalDF.recordCount;

 

for (recordWalker=1; recordWalker <= numRecsExtDF; recordWalker++)

 

returnStr += externalDF.GetFieldValue(recordWalker, 'Manuever') + (') ') +

externalDF.GetFieldValue(recordWalker, 'Narrative') + (' (') +

externalDF.GetFieldValue(recordWalker, 'Distance') + (' mi)') + ('<br>') + ('<p findent="1800" lindent="3000">')

 

return '<p findent="1800" lindent="3000">' + returnStr;

You already have a counter. Just include it in the string you're building, like so:

for (var recordWalker=1; recordWalker <= numRecsExtDF; recordWalker++)
{
   returnStr += '<p findent="1800" lindent="3000">' +
   [i][b]recordWalker + ": " + [/b][/i]
   externalDF.GetFieldValue(recordWalker, 'Manuever') + ': ' +
   externalDF.GetFieldValue(recordWalker, 'Narrative') + ' (' +
   externalDF.GetFieldValue(recordWalker, 'Distance') + ' mi)\n';
}
