FMP7 WinXP

I have created a script that gathers all information I need and puts it
(With all htm tags) in a global export field. When I export this field the
coded hardreturns "¶" get translated somehow to little squares. I need the
returns for some java-scripts inside the htm and readeability. I can open
the export and with a text-editor change all squares to returns, but it
would be much neater if I could get it working without any aditional
editing. I've tried the different export charsetts and filetypes.

Hi Ursus,

Export your data as XML. Apply a stylesheet file to the export
operation, and you can change the characters as you wish. If you're
throwing Javascript and tags as it would appear, this should not be too
difficult for you.

As a guide for getting it setup, try the XML Examples that come with
FMP. There is a sample XSLT stylesheet that is installed with
FileMaker Pro 7 that you can use to customize the record delimiters.
It is installed at \Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Pro 7\English
Extras\Examples\XML Examples\Export\custom_delim.xsl. (If you don't
find it there, browse your install CD.)

Good luck,

I use Troi File Plug-in for converting these in the exported files. Works
great.b 's not free, but there are other free plug-ins that can also do that
(althoug I haven't try them)

Marc-André

thanks for your reply. I have tried the troi-plugin. I think it is very
good, but I can not afford to buy one. Can you mention a name of some other
I might try?
