2empowerFM Developer Assistant is a plug-in designed for the FileMaker Pro database that allows FileMaker developers save time and be more productive. Developer Assistant lets you search inside of scripts, tables, fields, and lists, evaluate selected text, and more.
Say you need to modify every call to a CriticalFunction(), but how can you find all the scripts that use it? Developer Assistant`s Toolbox lets you search for "CriticalFunction", and it even opens the script and highlights the next script step matching your search.
Here are some key features of "2empowerFM Developer Assistant":
· Search in FileMaker???s Manage Database window to highlight tables or fields containing your search string. In FileMaker Pro Advanced, the search even includes text associated with the tables or fields, such as field auto-enter and validation calculations.
· Search in almost any List that appears in a FileMaker dialog, such as lists of fields, layouts, watched expressions, and so on. The search includes all columns in multi-column lists.
Wildcard matches:
· The Use RegEx option lets you search with Perl-compatible regular expressions. These expressions can be used like wildcards, so searching for the regular expression "Make.*" would find "MakeWidget()", "MakeGadget()", and so on.
Instant-evaluate selected text:
· Developer Assistant Evaluates Selected TextYou wonder what the value of Get(SystemPlatform) is on your system. Instead of searching through the help file, drag over the expression to highlight it, then click Developer Assistant`s Evaluate button to find its value immediately.
· Think how much time you`ll save by highlighting and instantly evaluating any expression as you`re writing or debugging scripts.
Move multiple lines:
· FileMaker uses lists of fields, script steps, and so on where each line is prefixed by a double arrow List line arrows indicating the line can be dragged up and down. Macintosh FileMaker allows you to select more than one line and drag them up or down together. Newer Windows versions of FileMaker allow the same thing, but not in all lists.
· Developer Assistant lets you move lines as a group in any Windows FileMaker dialog. Simply highlight a group of lines and click Mark.
