The TrText_VersionAutoUpdate function is part of an emerging standard for FileMaker plug-ins of third party vendors of plug-ins. The version number can be easily compared, when using the Autoupdate functionality of FileMaker Server.
Example
For example:
TrText_VersionAutoUpdatereturns 03000100 for version 3.0.1
TrText_VersionAutoUpdatewill return 05010203 for a (possible future) version 5.1.2.3
So for example to use a feature introduced with version 4.1 test if the result is equal or greater than 04010000.
