Abstractions Plug-in for FileMaker
This plug-in is freeware. There is no charge. It is now available for
Windows95/98/NT, Mac 68K, and Mac PPC.
This plug-in provides the following functions, shown in the Demo.FP3 file:
- RemoveMultipleReturns - To leave only one return between lines. For
instance, when concatenating Address fields.
- KeyTriggeredBy - Causes a field to be recalculated whenever another
field changes.
- SubStringByDelim - Extracts a substring using any text as a delimiter.
For instance, to get individual lines of an Address.
More functions will be added to this plug-in so check back here for updates. Feel free
to make suggestions to me via email: murrayc@murrayc.com.
If you find this software useful, it would be nice to receive a comment in the guestbook.
