I need to construct an applescript to automate the download of a file
to be imported into a filemaker database on a daily basis. I am very
familiar with the process of importing into filemaker with applescript
but I am not familiar enough with applescript to construct the name of
the file based on the date and then changing the name of the file
downloaded to a name that will always be the same so filemaker can grab
it.
The file name to be downloaded is always based on tomorrows date. So if
todays date is 2/22/2004 the file name would be "20040222-da.csv". I'm
sure I can use fetch with applescript to do the actual download once
the name is in the proper format. Then I will need to change the name
of the file to something specific such as, "da.csv" so filemaker can
recognize it. Then delete the file so the space is ready for the next
days download. I'm not really sure how to accomplish any of this except
the doscript command to filemaker and using cron to schedule the
applescript to run. All of this will be done in OSX 10.2.8.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Mike
