Simple newbie question: saving a file as type text


  • Subject: Simple newbie question: saving a file as type text
  • From: "Alden Lavizzo" <email@hidden>

I've tried the following script which is intended to open an AppleWorks 6 database and save it as a text file.  The script opens the file and saves it, but the result is not a text file, it appears to be an AppleWorks 6 file.  I could use a little help, or an alternate way to do it.

Here's the script:

tell application "AppleWorks 6"
	open file "Macintosh HD:Users:liquid:Desktop:Movie DB.cwk"
	save document 1 in file "Macintosh HD:Users:liquid:Temp:Movie DB.txt" as file type "TEXT"
	quit
end tell

Thanks,
Li
