Has anyone ever tried retrieving text from fields in Filemaker,
creating a file on the current user’s desktop and then writing the
retrieved data to the new file ? I keep getting an empty file when
running the code from FM even though it works fine when run from the
Sscript editor. Any ideas ?
Filemaker has a READ and a WRITE command. They've been there since day
one. The problem you are seeing is that FMP's WRITE command is stomping
on the Standard Additions WRITE command. This problem has been raised
and solved here dozens of times. Use raw codes
Standard Additions WRITE: «event rdwrwrit»
Standard Additions READ: «event rdwrread»
What's more, Filemaker provide a lot of Applescript support materials,
including practice databases and example apps, and a database called
"AppleScript Reference". If you installed FMP from the CD you'll have
them on your machine sitting beside the app. Have a look at them, they
are excellent.
