how does strTxt work?

How does strTxt work to create strings that written to the page?

How does strTxtWhatIsThis  turn into What Is This  ?

I looked for a function to do this but could not find it.

Thank you for helping me understand this.  Looking into the code is very interesting as I've only had about a year of aSP experience and it was all learned on my own.  So it is interesting to see these different coding practices.

Question though - how are these pages brought into the pages that use them?  I would have thought through include files, but I'm looking at one that didn't seem to do that.

For instance: in default.asp  there is the strTxtTheTimeNowIs that is used to write the time label to the top of the page.  This constant is set in language_file_inc.asp, and yet I don't see that file called into default.asp page.  How does default.asp page get hold of those variables to use?

Thanks.

Why so much use of variables as opposed to just writing out the actual text in the response.write. ?

I hadn't thought of language translations.

Thanks.
