Hello all,
I have a script to verify for a specific file in a hiearchy and it seems
that sometime the file is there but the script doesn't see it.
It has been noted on these mailing lists that 'entire contents' is unreliable.
Which means you will want to avoid using it. ;)
I am on OS 9.2.2 on eMac. The script is run from within FileMaker Pro 6.0v3
Here is my complete script. Is there a better and a faster way to do that?
Sure, assuming you have a folder-naming convention in place such that
you can determine the path to the file based on the file's name, thus
avoiding having to "search" for it; instead simply testing to see if
the file exists in its calculated location. Talk about fast...
