I need some help with reading the file below from disk into filemaker. I am not familiar with how to set pathnames and need to find a reference guide this weekend.
I can run the script from Filemaker Pro using Perform Applescript from field. Can someone please give me a hint or two to load a filemaker variable with text from the file stored on disk.
TIA
