FileMaker ReadQRCode & GetLiveText functions | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it

With the release of Claris FileMaker 19.5, there are some new functions related to containers that offer new ways to increase efficiency, accessibility, and utility in app development. 


These new functions, CopyLiveText and ReadQRCode, offer the ability to parse out text and read the contents of QR codes. 


Using these functions, users can implement image captions and image tagging for searching images, removing the need for complex integration solutions for the same text parsing purpose. 


 Let's take a look at some quick examples of what you can do with these new functions.

Can you parse out XML data in FileMaker Pro in one step?

Can you parse out XML data in FileMaker Pro in one step?

If you regularly have to work with XML formatted data in FileMaker Pro®, getting the relevant parts of that data, and putting it into text fields can be a daunting task.

And you would probably say it is impossible to get a node of the XML out in one step as it would need a lot of script steps. But that is not the case if you use a plug-in.

Yes, it can be done!

It can be done if you install Troi Text Plug-in. This plug-in adds a function TrText_XML( ) to your arsenal of tools.

This function allows you to easily parse out a node from XML in one step!
