FileMaker "One Liners"
As you see and write more and more code within any development environment, you start to view code which simply looks clean and efficient as opposed to long and inefficient. In this video, we’re taking a look at some so called FileMaker “One Liners”. These are simple snippets of code which typically only take one line in order to do something pretty cool.
While the code doesn’t always take exactly one line, because FileMaker uses more than just actual code, it’s the super simple implementation which makes them so cool.
Take a look at this video to see five different examples of FileMaker One Liners and see how this know-how will help you with your own FileMaker development!

More of these please!
I get so much out of all your videos, but every now and then I love seeing one of these quick ones that are packed with simple tips that can be utilized in all of one's files. I keep a running list of these tricks I learn and as they become integrated into my natural developing methods I cross them off the list. It's a great way for me to learn. Thanks Matt.
Thank you sincerely Matt
I have been a subscriber for 13.7 years and I can't begin to express my gratitude for this amazing resource. I have learnt so much from the master and am continually learning and love the new "live" videos.

Showing Portal Count
Great examples as always, however with example 2 I am filtering a portal to make a selection list (m/f). When i first make the selection every thing works great. If i change the sex the list refreshes but the count does not refresh. any suggestions please??
More of this would be great
Already using those oneliners, specially the toggle, great way to turn interpolation tables on and off in a portal.

One Liners
Here is another one liner...
Container objects have a lot of meta data.. An easy way to extract all of the meta data from the file stored into the container using this: GetContainerAttribute ( Container ; "all" )
Hope that helps someone :)
