Troi Automatisering releases Troi Text Plug-in 2.1 for FileMaker 5.5

First 3rd party plug-in to be available for FileMaker 5.5 and Mac OS X!

Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands, May 15th, 2001--Troi Automatisering today announced the immediate availability of its Troi Text Plug-in 2.1, for FileMaker Pro 5.5 for Mac OS, Mac OS X and Windows.

What is the Troi Text Plug-in?

The Troi Text Plug-in is a very powerful tool 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
  • and more...

Peter Baanen, company president, states: "We are very proud to be able to release the first plug-in for FileMaker 5.5. Finally we can take FileMaker for a spin on Mac OS X! We are working hard to adapt the other Troi Plug-ins for FileMaker 5.5 too and expect to be able to release them successively."

New Features

Except for compatibility with FileMaker 5.5 and Mac OS X, the Troi Text Plug-in 2.1 has the same functionality as the 2.0.1 version, which added these new functions and features:

  • New "XML" function. With this function you can import information from XML data files and parse it into your FileMaker Pro database. It will allow you to get the specified node out of an XML formatted field. It will deal with nested nodes, returning all child nodes or just the child node you specify. You can also retrieve the attributes of nodes.
  • New "NOTText" function. Now you can also retrieve lines that are in one text field only.
  • SortLinesEx function, This function can also sort in reverse alphabetical order.
  • Improved "Version" function. It can retrieve the version number of the plug-in. This allows you to check which version is running, so you'll know if certain functionality is available.
  • Show the Flash Dialog from a script. This makes checking the registration state for endusers easier.
  • New and updated Example databases. 12 FileMaker files illustrate the use of each of the functions.

Together with the existing functions the possibilities are virtually limitless. We invite you to test drive the new functions and see what you can do with it!
