Welcome!
In the meantime while I clamber up the learning curve can someone point
me in the right direction for copying the contents of a field ("Record
Name") to another field which I have created (called "mySortField") in
Cumulus 5.
tell application "Cumulus 5 Client"
tell collection "yourCollectionsName"
set recordName to the name of record 1
set field "mySortField" of record 1 to recordName
end tell
end tell
Also, as a matter of interest, is it possible to copy part of the text
in a field? For example the text in the "Record Name" field are in two
parts separated by a space. i.e. "F16E01 1234.jpg". I want to select the
first part of the record name (i.e. "F16E01") and paste that into
another field. When using Macromedia Director I can write a line of code
that will select all of the text up to a given character (in this case
as space). Is this possible in Applescript?
tell application "Cumulus 5 Client"
tell collection "yourCollectionsName"
set recordName to the name of record 1
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " "
set recordPrefix to text item 1 of recordName
set field "recordPrefix" of record 1 to recordPrefix
end tell
end tell
