Hi all !
Im new to this list and relatively new to apple script. possibly one of
you can help me with a problem:
I am trying to write a script to open a specific file with FileMaker
Pro (tell filemaker pro, open file"filename", end tell). This file is
located in an specific internal folder structure, but the outside
folder structure can be completely different. So the script should be
independent of the outside structure. the scenery is as follows (the
"*" should represent the folder depth):
harddisk
*folder1
**folder2
***data
****filemakerdata
*****file_to_open
****tools
*****applescript_which_should_tell_filemaker_to_open_"file_to_open"
I dont know the names of folder1, folder2 and not of the harddis. i
dont even know how many folders are above the data-folder. but within
the data-folder, foldernames and file placements ar defined.
Is thete a way of relative file path access, so i can tell the script
somehow to determine its posistion itself, move up one folder, go into
folder "filemakerdata" and have access to the "file_to_open"-file ?
The background is, that i have to write a script that will do the same
thing on every computer it is started, independet of the computers name
or structure.
Suggestions ?
Thanx in advance !
