Any way to stop font scanning when loading?
Terrell replied to csf97's topic in FileMaker Legacy fp3 and fp5
I doubt this can be achieved by FM, I'd recommend using a font utility application (ATM Deluxe or Suitecase) to manage your fonts into sets that load as you need them! T -
Hi I know you shouldn't style individual text elements within a field but... I need a calculation to find italic/Bold text within a text field and replace with "tag & StyledText & tag" (any plug-ins out there). or if this is not possible, have a dictionary of words that should be replaced. If the former is not possible has anyone got any pointers for creating this! T

Thanks LiveOak, that works fine but I'm getting the year as "YYYY" how do I return "YY" ie "11-Jan-00" the text calculation I'm using is: If(IsEmpty(DateFrom); ""; Day(DateFrom) & "-" & Choose(Month(DateFrom); ""; "Jan";"Feb";"Mar";"Apr";"May";"Jun";"Jul";"Aug";"Sep";"Oct";"Nov";"Dec") & "-" & Year(DateFrom)) & TabFM & ...

Hi I need to return a date in a text calculation as 11-Mar-00 from an existing field example Name & " " & Date & " " & Cost "John 02-Jun-00 10.00" I'm currently using DD/MM/YYYY with "DateToText(DateFrom)" in the calculation but need it formatted with short month name for export! Can anyone help? Happy New Year T

Hi, I use a simular system in my job database, but use the job title as the relationship key, my job names are a calculation of client code + job name (lookup list), I then have a portal on the job details layout. If you have to many old records to add a logical job name this might not be useful but it works well for me. T

Thanks to Chuck for the suggestions and LiveOak for Caracter Assassin, a handy utility for translating ASCII if you're on a Mac, If anyone else comes accross this problem on a Mac you can get ASCII 29 by typing ctrl + ], it may not appear but it's there!! Cheers

Thanks for your reply, my problem is I'm using a Mac and cannot find a way of typing an ASCII 29 character. Anyone... ?

I need to export 4 fields from FM seperated by ASCII 29, is there a simple way of bringing the data into a repeating field using a calculation? or is there a better way... ! (I'm exporting keywords to Extensis Portfolio 5 from a Mac). Blue skies!
