bigmac Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 When i'm copying a partnumber from my spare parts application (microcat) some invisible characters come along. These characters do NOT show up in Filemaker Pro 6, but they do in FMP 7, 8 & 9. This prevents us from upgrading. I've included a test-file. Can someone explain to me why FMp7+ shows these characters, and FMP6 do not? test.fp7.zip
bigmac Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 what's in the copy is actually ASCII NULL charc's, ascii number 00. For some stupid reason, filemaker is displaying control characters as squares. Does not make sense to me.
comment Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Could it be font or platform related? I don't see the control characters displayed - although I can tell they are there by cursor position. Why don't you make the field auto-enter a calculation that would clean up the entry, e.g. Filter ( YourField ; "0123456789abcdef ... WXYZ" )
