[AyseCABI]

I need an open source plug in about translating number to string. Where can i find? Please help me...

Thanks...

The only open source plugins I've ever seen are here:

The pointer Tom has offered is also the only one that I'm aware of.

However I'm not clear on what it is you are trying to do, nor why you would contenplate using a plug-in to do it.

The two most obvious number-to-string operations are accommodated by FileMaker's native calc functions. Notably the NumToText( ) function (to render a numeral as a text literal string), or a compound formulation using the Choose function to express a numeric value in words.

Either of these can be achieved with reasonable efficiency by dropping some code into a FileMaker calc dialog.

source code at that site seems to no longer exist or the links are dead.

I'm also trying to author a plugin, but I'm having no luck using CodeWarrior under OSX, although I have written plugins for FM/Windows.

As for trying to convert a number to string, you shouldn't need a new plugin to do that. You should just use a built in function. Judging from how FM handles data passing between your plugin and Filemaker, everything is a (char*) string.

Does anyone here

I might be mistaken here, but i seem to remember that the example plugin include with Filemaker developer does this exact number to text conversation.

I may possibly be interested in adding this functionality to the plugin I am currently developing. Please email me at [email protected] if you want to talk about it more.
