# Troi Text Plug-in™ 7.0 Troi Text Plug-in is copyright 1998-2026 of Troi Automatisering. All rights reserved (June 9, 2026). Thank you for your interest in Troi Text Plug-in. This FileMaker® Pro plug-in adds several external functions to FileMaker Pro 19 to FileMaker Pro 26: check spelling, parse out incoming XML data in FileMaker Pro and text manipulation functions like GetLine which returns the n-th line of a text field, ANDText, XORText, NOTText, UniqueLines, UniqueWords and SortLines. ## Installation instructions Installation is very easy: just open the "All Text Examples.fmp12" example file and the startup script will install the plug-in for you. See also the example file EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12 (which is included in the download package) which contains the actual plug-in and install script. ### What Troi Text Plug-in can do for you Troi Text Plug-in is a very powerful tool for dealing efficiently with text in your FileMaker Pro database. It will let you check spelling in a field, find all lines that are the same in 2 text fields or all lines that are different in 2 text fields. Additional functions let you find all lines that are in the first text field but not in the second, all unique lines of a text field or all unique words of a text field. Other manipulations include finding all lines in a text field sorted alphabetically, getting the n-th line of a text field and easily parsing out your incoming XML data files into FileMaker fields. ### Who wrote it?
