FileMaker oddity ?

Hello

I wrote a script passing styled datas from AppleWorks to FileMaker Pro.

--[SCRIPT]

tell application "AppleWorks 6"

activate

tell document 1

select menu item 7 of menu 3 (* Select All *)

select menu item 4 of menu 3 (* Copy *)

end tell

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

activate

go to field 1 of last record of document 1

do menu menu item 7 of menu 3 (* Paste *)

end tell -- FileMaker

--[/SCRIPT]

It behaves well on my G5 under 10.4.11

but, on macIntel machines, the fonts aren't passed.

I found a workaround:

I first paste in a TextEdit document

copy from this TextEdit document

then paste in FileMaker.

For the same chunk of text,

azertyu

on PPC, the clipboard's record is:

styled Clipboard text:«data styl

0003

00000000 001B 0014 0015 0000 0018 0000 0000 0000

00000003 001B 0014 0016 0000 0018 EEEE 0000 0000

00000005 001B 0014 0015 0000 0018 0000 0000 0000

», string:"azertyu"

on Intel, the clipboard's record is:

string:"azertyu",

scrap styles:«data styl

0300

00000000 1B00 1400 1500 0000 0018 0000 0000 0000

03000000 1B00 1400 1600 0000 0018 EEEE 0000 0000

05000000 1B00 1400 1500 0000 0018 0000 0000 0000

»"

The difference is the way numbers are stored.

My guess is that the culprit is FileMaker which, on Intel machine fails to grab the string + scrap styles components of the clipboard.

I feel that this script demonstrates what I say:

The TextEdit's clipboard's record is:

{Unicode text:"azertyu",

styled Clipboard text:«data styl

0003

00000000 0018 0012 0015 00FF 0018 000000000000

--[SCRIPT]

(* on entry the clipboard contains a chunck of text copied from TextEdit *)

set intelInside to (do shell script "sysctl -n hw.byteorder") = "1234"

set clipRec to the clipboard as record

if intelInside then

set newRec to {«class utf8»:«class utf8» of clipRec, uniform styles:uniform styles of clipRec}

else

set newRec to {string:string of clipRec, styled Clipboard text:styled Clipboard text of clipRec}

end if

set the clipboard to ""

set the clipboard to newRec

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

activate

go to field 1 of last record of document 1

do menu menu item 7 of menu 3 (* Paste *)

end tell -- FileMaker

--[/SCRIPT]

If I pass the utf8 + uniform styles to Filemaker on PPC machines it fails

If I pass the string + styled Clipboard Text to FileMaker on Intel Machines, it fails

If I pass the RTF component, it fails on both.

Why FileMaker is it rejecting the string + styled Clipboard Text set on Intel machines, I don't know.
