Get a Mail-Merge Replacement String by Pattern

See more Email Object Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.GetReplaceString2 method, which returns the replacement string for a previously-defined pattern/replacement pair, looked up by the pattern itself (a mail-merge feature). This example defines two pairs and looks up the replacement for one pattern by name.
