问题 In learning to import XML items to Filemaker 13 I've run into a problem using "xsl:for-each" to obtain multiple rows of data for import. The XML I've been using is the W3 Schools Music Example.

巧了我就是萌 提交于 2019-12-12 19:08:30
问题 I have two tables in Filemaker: tableA (which includes fields idA (e.g. a123), date , price ) and tableB (which includes fields idB (e.g. b123), date , price ). How can I create a new table, tableC , with field id , populated with both idA and idB , (with the other fields being used for calculations on the combined data of both tables)? 回答1: The only way is to script it (for repeating uses) or do it 'manually', if this is an ad-hoc process. Details depend on the situation, so please clarify.

此生再无相见时 提交于 2019-12-12 12:34:30
问题 Suppose I have a text variable $$string . How can I write a boolean to check whether $$string contains the text $$substring ? e.g. if $$string is "foobar" and $$substring is "oo", then the result should be True, and if the $$string is "foo" and $$substring is "bar" the result should be False. 回答1: For a problem like this I'm partial to the PatternCount function: PatternCount($$string ; $$substring) You should then get back false = 0 or true >= 1. You can force true to 1 as follows:

Filemaker: exporting a PLIST (for iOS)

被刻印的时光 ゝ 提交于 2019-12-12 05:48:31
问题 I have a database which I want to export as an iOS compatible PLIST. The work around I have come up with is to create a calculated field which adds the tagged padding and header and creates a report using these fields. I then export the preview of the report as a PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat Reader, select all text, copy and paste into XCode which recognises the PLIST format and all works as expected. Is there a better way of doing this? (This seems a really convoluted way of doing things,
