Signature Switch - "Fortune Cookie File" |
This is how a "Fortune Cookie File" with different signatures should look like:
In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Mississippi has
shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. Therefore ... in the
Old Silurian Period the Mississippi River was upward of one million
three hundred thousand miles long ... seven hundred and forty-two years
from now the Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long.
... There is something fascinating about science. One gets such
wholesome returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of
fact.
-- Mark Twain
%
In the Top 40, half the songs are secret messages to the teen world to
drop out, turn on, and groove with the chemicals and light shows at
discotheques.
-- Art Linkletter
%
In those days he was wiser than he is now -- he used to frequently take
my advice.
-- Winston Churchill
|
Note: The first and last line shouldn't contain the %-separator-char.
A nice fortune-cookie program plus some data-files can be found here: Fortune4All, Fortune data
Another hint for people that want to use HTML-formatted-signatures in a fortune-cookie-file:
Make sure you don't put any <br>'s (or any other tags, etc.) before or after the %-character!
To achieve HTML-compliant line-breaks in your fc-file, create something like this:
line1 of sig1<br>
line2 of sig1<br>
line3 of sig1
%
line1 of sig2<br>
line2 of sig2<br>
line3 of sig2
%
line1 of sig3<br>
line2 of sig3<br>
line3 of sig3
...
|
|
or
|
<pre>
line1 of sig1
line2 of sig1
line3 of sig1
</pre>
%
<pre>
line1 of sig2
line2 of sig2
line3 of sig2
</pre>
%
<pre>
line1 of sig3
line2 of sig3
line3 of sig3
</pre>
...

Now... to get you even more confused... there's another "specialty" you can use on fortune-cookie-files. ;-)
Let's assume you want to have a random fortune-cookie picked each time, but additionally you want to have a "fixed part" before it; then this is how to do it:

Fortune-Cookie #1
%
Fortune-Cookie #2
%
Fortune-Cookie #3
|
Everything above the $-line will be treated as your "fixed part"; below follows the usual fc-file.
