Issue with StringIndex2 example

[createRyan]

I am having an issue with the StringIndex2 example in the WeParser Related Tips. I cannot get the example to work. i copy the whole example code into notepad and save as an .ini file, and try to run it and i get nothing. i add a backgroundmode=2 to find it, i get a blank box.

Looks like there are a couple of errors with that code.

Try this:

I updated the StringIndex2 Tips and Tricks page.

Note: The code was actually correct on that page, the problem was that "<" and ">" were not escaped correctly, so browsers thought they were actually HTML tags.

Ok it works now, thank you for the help. i felt there may have been an error on my part since it was a full example.
