No one has mentioned writing a suitable export to a file in Filemaker's
scripting language and reading that file into the script when needed. Just
an instance of the general pattern "let FileMaker do the work when you can."
But if the file is only needed for tuning, then the Malcolm's method of
using a layout which contains what you want is likely "better," and likely
similar in speed.
