Hey all,
Unsolicited opinion coming :-)
My name is Keith Bruzelius. I've been lurking for about a year now after
approx. a 4 year hiatus. I am updating some scripts and Facespan stuff
that's been working on OS 8.6 and Quark 4.1 for a long time now. They
finally want to go to OS X.
Anyway, this seems to be the same discussion that's been going on for years.
My 2 cents is the same as it's always been.
Get ACME Script Widgets. Forget about records. Use paired lists.
set yourText to (offset in list yourListHere of yourStringHere searching odd
items with returning next item)
I use a database via SOAP to send me a paired list, and then loop through
named boxes in Quark (it will be labeled boxes in InDesign I guess) to throw
the data in. It's simple.
The hard part is getting Quark to print :-)
You'd think they'd have fixed that by now.
Keith
