Luckily, NumToJText ( ) comes to the rescue. It adds complexity to the code and makes it harder to debug. This type of workflow can be tedious and involves building out an advanced Let function, usually nesting a while loop to iterate over a number. However common workflow solutions use character counting inside Let ( ) functions to evaluate patterns and concatenation to apply comma placement. Adding a comma separator between values at first seems like a trivial concept. Calculated numerical commas (Jacob)ĭata formatting can be a difficult endeavor, especially when you need to format for an application outside of the Claris FileMaker eco. Share your own bonus tip haikus with us in the comments. (And our discussions often lead to the expansion of our list of free demos and add-ons, which you might find of interest.) After recording our podcast, we thought of a few more hints that we wanted to share. We’re constantly discussing little tips and tricks amongst ourselves, which is one of the reasons we decided to post about them.
We think there’s a problem-solving nugget in here for everyone. Continue reading as we each present one or two of our favorite Zeninators to help each other relax and work smarter. Episode summaryĭuring our third episode of the FileMaker DevCast: Everything Claris FileMaker (now available on PodBean and Apple Podcasts) we take a few steps towards FMP Developer Zen by discussing multiple ways to smooth out our normal, everyday tasks and save time.
Finding this happy place leads to being a better programmer. This level is a peaceful state in which all things are working together to help complete the task at hand as quickly and easily as possible. Knowing the most efficient ways to apply techniques, and operating in those ways, leads to Developer Zen. Can I achieve max efficiency? Can I save clicks and therefore muscle strain when writing code? What about the cumulative nature of the mental tedium of constantly making three moves where one would suffice? However, there is another aspect to techniques, and that is the happy place of using them as cleanly as possible. The Claris Community shares techniques quite eagerly, and it’s one of the things that makes the software development ecosphere so much fun to be a part of. A technique as defined here is a set of steps that will accomplish a task. Being an expert at something has as much to do with technique as it does knowledge, practice, and skill.
