Can’t copy code between computers

Introduction

• Need to transfer some FileMaker code from here to there across the internet quick?
• Wanna copy and paste your FileMaker code between two FileMaker solutions - and it just doesn’t work?

The Problem

• Copy and paste doesn’t work for FileMaker code. (at least not from a Mac.)
• However, copy and paste does work for text. (most of the time)

That means, if we can convert our FileMaker code to xml on the clipboard, we are ready to transfer our code across the ether…

MrWatson’s Solutions

Two solutions help bridge the divide:

fmCheckmate is quick (particularly if you use fmCheckMate’s Convert & Transfer Mode):

1. ⌘C - Copy your code from the FileMaker solution here
2. ⌥⌘C - Convert the code here to fmxml on the clipboard with fmCheckMate
3. ⌥⌘C - On the remote computer convert the fmxml from the clipboard with fmCheckMate
4. ⌘V - Paste the code into the FileMaker solution there

---

fmAutoMate’s Xopy + PaXte is blitz schnell:

1. ⌃⌘C - Xopy the code from the FileMaker solution here
2. ⌃⌘V - PaXte the code into the FileMaker solution there

Sorted 😎
