Xapian discuss - Oct 2008 - problem with empty field in omegascript 1.0.7

Hi list,

I'm currently busy trying to get our article database in omega for which
I use the following omegascript:

example="$highlight{$htmlstrip{$if{$field{lead},$field{text},
$field{lead}}},$terms,<span class="highlight">}"

My scriptindex script looks like this:
leadtekst			: unhtml index=XL weight=2 index field=lead
text				: unhtml index truncate=500 field=text

What I'm trying is: if lead is empty, I want to see an excerpt of the
field text because the lead isn't always filled but text is. But for
some reason I only get example filled when I have a lead.

So I must be doing something wrong, but me and my college Arjen van der
Meijden can't seem to find what, maybe you can help us?

Thank!

This is backwards - if field "lead" contains something, it expands to
field "text"; otherwise it expands to the empty field
"lead"!
