There is no XDC 2017, so if you like to join a conference before 2018, please consider our conference in Europe: I would expect New York, San Francisco, Boston, Miami and and a few others to be too expensive.Īnd with the list of direct flights available from Paris and Frankfurt, I would bet on Seattle. We know that it will be USA and probably somewhere with direct flights internationally. Dallas could fill a similar role with a big airport and in drivable distance from Austin. Houston for 2016 was similar easy for Xojo Inc. as they have a couple of people living there who won't need any airplane ticket. Until the next newsletter ( subscribe here) in January tells us, we can enjoy betting where it could be.Īustin is not easy to reach, but convenient for Xojo Inc. The question to be answered is where the conference will take place. Just in time for Christmas Dana posted a teaser for XDC 2018. If you like to test today, you can email me. So you can have an input XML, split the values into variables using our plugin and process them in your script. Set Field Īnd in the debugger all the variables may look like this for a test XML: Later you can pass the list to XML.ClearVariables to clear them for another run. The plugin sets those variables and returns a list of the names. We parse an XML with the XML.SetVariables function, identify all nodes with text values and create variables for you automatically. Now we got something special for FileMaker Scripts. XML.GetAttribute returns the value for the attribute. We got a few functions to handle attributes. You can first use the subtree function to get a part of a XML to only get a portion of the texts. So all text portions are returned as a list. The XML.ExtractText extracts the text inside an XML tree. This includes getting the nth entry like the nth record in a list of records. So you may have a big XML with a smaller chunks and we can query nodes inside a bigger tree. Next we got a function to get a subtree ( XML.SubTree). You pass in a XML and it can give you the list of node names in the first layer or if you want recursively all layers. So I added a few functions, first one to extract node names from an XML: XML.NodeNames. The last days I chatted with a FileMaker developer who had a need for some XML handling functions. New XML Functions in MBS FileMaker Plugin Anything automated which saves a few hours is worth the money.Īrbed is available on for $29 or $89 USD. SQL queries) in your application or prepare it for localization. If you need, you can use it to obfuscate strings (e.g. You can call it from command line in your shell scripts to do various actions in batch operations. It is also useful to bundle a project with all required files if you need to send a project to a client.Īrbed is highly automatable and can be scripted. In other cases Arbed helped to recover corrupted project files and to compare two versions of a project which have been modified independently without version tracking software. For myself i mostly use it to automatically convert my example projects to HTML files to include them in the documentation. It has many features and depending on your needs, you may decide which feature is worth the price. The new version knows about the most recent changes in Xojo 2016r4.Įvery Xojo developer should have it in his tool chain and enjoy the features. As Xojo evolves over time and changes the file format, Arbed as to be updated to recognize any changes in the format. Thomas Tempelmann recently announced a new version of Arbed.
