Works fine apart from quoting the first line from the file. It always makes it:
d»z_sometext_

Why does it put those three "d»z" characters?

It's pretty simple:

----------------------------------------------
Hi %TOFNAME,

%CURSOR

--
%QINCLUDE(MySig)
%Cookie="C:\Misc\Cookies.txt"
----------------------------------------------

The %COOKIE macro itself selects a line at random from the file. That's the nature of the beast. The file length is down to the operating system.

All I would mention is that "a line" is the crucial point here. If you have any multi-line text, you will have to make it single line.

For that you have 2 further choices:

1) Use \n at breakpoints withing the line to force a the cookie macro to insert a linebreak into the output

2) Use this instead: %wrapped='%cookie="C:\Misc\Cookies.txt"' to have TB wrap the line for you

the following doesn't really tell me much

What do I put on the template and how do I make the quotes random ?

COOKIE = "filepath" insert a random cookie from the file defined by the filepath. This allows the use of a virtually unlimited number of cookies

thanks

Mike

P.S. I have the quotes
