Version 0.3d of bBox is now available

Posted by Simon Brown Sat, 08 Aug 2009 06:22:00 GMT

A new version of our free FileMaker plug-in is now available. You can download the latest version at http://www.beezwax.net/download/bbox

This version sports the following improvements:

  • bBox_AppleScript now uses UTF-16 (2 byte characters) where possible
  • bBox_DoShell has improved handling of UTF-8 characters, faster processing of large amount of text
  • bBox_PasteboardGet has improved handling of encoding issues, and a new UTF-16 mode
  • bBox_DoScript function can now pass a text parameter to the script being called

And as before, the download disk image includes a complete demo file with a multitude of examples. The full function list is now as follows:

  • bBox_Applescript( mode; script {; handler; param1; param2} )
  • bBox_ApplescriptLastError
  • bBox_CurrentTime( {format}; )
  • bBox_DoScript( filename; scriptname; parameter )
  • bBox_Evaluate( calcToEvaluate )
  • bBox_Curl( param1 {; param2; param3} )
  • bBox_FileStatus( filePath )
  • bBox_Grep( mode; text; param1 {; param2; param3} )
  • bBox_PasteboardFlavors( item )
  • bBox_PasteboardGet( mode; item; flavor )
  • bBox_PasteboardSet( flavor; data )
  • bBox_Shell( mode; script )
  • bBox_ShellExitStatus
  • bBox_Sort( mode; text; param1 {; param2; param3}; )

This version is still Mac OS only, with 10.4 being the minimum OS supported. Also, because functions have been added and parameters changed in this version, you’ll need to check all your bBox function calls after upgrading.

    Thanks for this useful plugin.

    What is the difference between 0.3d and 0.3e?

    0.3e seems to have moved functions around from 0.3c. This breaks my saved scripts. Is there a way to update the plugin and not break functions?
