New Universal and cross platform plug-in runs natively in FileMaker Pro 8.5 and lets you parse out incoming XML data in FileMaker Pro and concatenate all text from a field in a related file.

August 14th, 2006, Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands--Troi Automatisering today announced the availability of Troi Text Plug-in 3.0 for FileMaker Pro 8.5.

What is Troi Text Plug-in?

Troi Text Plug-in is a very powerful tool for for dealing efficiently with text in your FileMaker Pro database. It adds the following functions to FileMaker Pro:

• Combine sets from 2 text fields:
  • get all lines that are the same
  • get all lines that differ
  • and other combinations
• Get (unique) lines and sort words and lines
• Make a text sum from a related file that even updates without a script
• Parse XML text into fields

New Features

Troi Text Plug-in 3.0 adds these new functions and features:

• Made compatible with FileMaker Pro 8.5.
• (Mac OS X) Converted to Universal plug-in which runs natively on PowerPC and Intel Macs.
• Updated the User Guide for version 3.0. We also improved the links in the table of contents, so the links now also work with the Preview application of Mac OS X.

SumText now native in FileMaker Pro 8.5

FileMaker Pro 8.5 has a new List(...) function, which is similar to the SumText functionality of Troi Text Plug-in. As this new function is native to FileMaker it is best to use it for all FileMaker Pro 8.5 only deployments. If, however, you deploy your solution on a mixed FileMaker 8.5, 8 and/or 7 platform, the SumText function can still be used.

Suggested Uses

• Present portal information horizontally

• Receive client information in XML format and parse it easily into your database

Other Troi Plug-ins for FileMaker Pro 8.5 and Intel Macs
