# repNote

### repNote()

When writing to the notes field in Contact1, Inaport normally inserts the incoming text into the front of the notes field, leaving teh existing notes text in place. This function causes Inaport to replace all the existing notes text with the incoming text.

## Arguments

None

## Returns

Nothing. This is a processing instruction, which controls how Inaport formats a note field.

## Description

This function is used to control how Inaport builds a note field. Normally, Inaport will insert the incoming text to the front of a notes field and leave the existing text in place. For example, if the incoming text is "new stuff", and the existing text is "old stuff, the notes field will look like this after the import:

*** DAVID *** October 18, 2002 at 2:05pm
new stuff

*** DAVID *** October 18, 2002 at 2:05pm
old stuff

If you use the repNote() function, then the "new stuff" will replace the "old stuff", and you will be left with:

*** DAVID *** October 18, 2002 at 2:05pm
new stuff

Note that if using this function in step 4 of the Import Wizard, you do NOT need to map the result to some field; the processing instruction is silently handled by Inaport
