Thank you for all your helpful solutions. Now that I
understand a bit more what can be done, the required
logic changed a bit:
Instead of one long string, the incoming file will a
pair of token and value in each record as follows:
-Name John Smith
-Address 123 Home Ave
-City San Diego
-State California
-Zip 92101
I need to put certain value into FileMakerPro. Lets
say its the City and State.
So the pseudo code would be:
open file to read
loop to read each record, if the token is "-City",
then update the FMP field with the value. Do the same
for "-State".
Please let me know if my logic is on the right track.
I find myself doing a lot of questionable loops,I
would appreciate some help on the syntex.
