Just trying to move to a new version of Filemaker Pro 10 (not yet the advanced version) and I was confronted with some of my older codes that did not work anymore. Somehow the carriage return character is not recognized, or it may be that FMP 10 distinguishes between a new line ACII character (10) and a carriage return character (13) where it did not do so in earlier versions. It is a kind of odd, but maybe maybe it can be produced by the fact that I installed several language versions (including Chinese and Japanese) of this Filemaker 10 (?).
Anyhow this is the new code I did write, which I have to post here as an image file because of another annoying shortcoming of FMP the impossibility to copy and paste code as text (or at least in the non-plug-in version of it).
This is the work-around I came up with… There is one special character that was very naught the non-breaking space character used in html, which translates to an invisible character in my routine (A combined Applescript and Javascript) with which I grab blocked text from a web page… For that one I could not find an equivalent in ASCII so I just pasted it in the code (which shows up as if nothing is there)…
You can click the code to see it full size.
