FileMaker Clipboard Helper 1.1

This little utility helps with batch changing scripts.

The workflow:

  1. You select and copy some script steps in a script in FileMaker
  2. You press the button Script to Text
  3. You paste script steps as xml into your favorite text editor
  4. You change the script xml with search and replace or other functions.
  5. You copy the xml to clipboard
  6. You press the Text to Script button
  7. You paste script steps into FileMaker script editor.

The XML may look strange first, but you quickly learn how it is structured. The application does apply format to XML so it looks much more readable than the raw format we get from FileMaker.

Be aware that a syntax error in the xml may make trouble to FileMaker.
