Hi,
I need to import a text file into a field for further parsing. All to
be done via a script.
I know I can do this with Import Folder, selecting text files, but is
there a way of doing this by just naming the file?
Importing a folder (and arranging things so that there is only one
file in the folder) seems clumsy.
The Import Records script command allows you to specify a filename ...
but it will have to be the same filename every time the script is run
(or at least in my version the filename is "hard coded" and you can't
use a field to hold filenames).
This is for FM8, but if 8.5 / 9.0 can do it better/differently, I am
always looking for more reasons to justify an upgrade.
Personally, the more I hear about the silly non-Committing of records,
the less I want to upgrade from FileMaker 5.5. :o(
