Is there a way that I can make file maker read the output from a console app that I've wrote. I want to be able to create file maker plugins, but my language of choice is C#.NET, and I've yet to find any docs explaining how to make a .net FM plugin. TIA!

I feel your pain. C# is my programming language of choice too.

I'm sure that what you're asking can be done in a plugin (in fact I think the Shell plugin does it), but witout a plugin you'd need to do this:

have the console app output to a text file and have your app call a FM script to import that then delete the text file.

Alternatives are to get data into FM by ODBC or through its web interface.

fact I think the Shell plugin does it

We're a few who lost track of both Faustino Forcén and his tools... other similar tools exist:

...not quite knowing if it's up to all tasks the other performs???
