Troi Text Plug-in is a very powerful tool for dealing efficiently with text in your FileMaker Pro database. All from within FileMaker you can: Customize spell checking Quickly copy FileMaker scripts or script steps Parse XML text into fields Get (unique) lines and sort words and lines Combine sets from 2 text fields: get all lines that are the same get all lines that differ and other combinations What is new in version 6.0?

New functionality and improvements Added new TrText_GetClipboardAsText function, which returns the text contents of the clipboard. This function can also return fmxmlsnippets that are on the clipboard as text. A fmxmlsnippet is XML formatted data that is put on the clipboard when you copy scripts or other structure elements of a FileMaker database. You can get these types of fmxmlsnippets as text: Script(s) copied from Script Workspace Script step(s) copied from Script Workspace Field(s) copied from Manage Database Table(s) copied from Manage Database Value List(s) copied from Manage Value Lists Layout object(s) copied from a layout. Unicode improvements (macOS) When returning a text the Unicode characters are now normalized (to the NFC normal form). This means that all characters are now precomposed. For example: ö will now always be returned as one Unicode point: U+00F6 (before this could be two code points: U+006F U+0308). The FileMaker platform internally expects precomposed characters. Startup Registration Log Improved the EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12 example file (v1.8.8): added a script which adds the Startup Registration Log to the log field. This will get a text log of the startup registration process of the plug-in. Added an example script “Get Startup Registration Log of the plug-in” to Version.fmp12, which gets the text log of the startup registration of the plug-in. Added switch “-GetStartupRegistrationLog” to the TrText_Version function. This will return a text log of the plug-in’s registration process at startup time of FileMaker Pro. When you have problems registering the plug-in, you can see if the payment certificate was found and if a valid registration code was found. (macOS) modernized the code for registration and flash dialog handling. Improved security, speed enhancements and other changes Improved the security in several placed and updated the source code.
