More details:
Open a Filemaker export tab-return file with TE+.
Search all the (french) phone numbers appearing as "xx xx xx xx".
Change them to "xxxxxxxx"
Re-import the file to FM.
Text sample:
Of course, this begs the question of why bother to use TE+ at all and
not
just do it all in Filemaker:
tell application "FileMaker Pro"
tell every record
set cell "phone number" to my stripSpaces(it's cell "phone
number")
end tell
end tell
on stripSpaces(srcString)
-- your code here to strip spaces from a string
end stripSpaces
You're right, Oliver.
That's the best solution. I forget about TE + and adopt your soution.
Nevertheless, a little problem remains (at my weak FMP level): how to
launch this FMP script once, I mean the first time the user uses the
FMP base.
I'll find it...
Thanks
