Re: Pausing a script

I have a script that opens all the files in a folder in Excel. Excel does a bunch of stuff to the files then saves them back to the hard drive and then imports those new files into File Maker Pro. What I would like to do is pause the script before it goes on to import the files to FMP. I want to make sure the files from Excel are correct before a bunch of gibberish gets imported to FMP. Once I confirm the files are correct I would like the script to continue. Can I do this from one script or do I need to write two scripts and run the second after I have confirmed the files? I am using OS10.1.4 and AS1.7.

Display dialog could do this very easily

try
Display dialog "Are the files correct?"
on error
--user clicked "cancel"
return
end try
--user clicked "OK"
