Thanks Peter that worked great!
Q: Is it also possible to extract (copy) the file contents (all the text)
into a variable?
I tried:
set getstuff to the contents of myDoc
display dialog getit as string
.... But that didn't work - no error, but it just showed the path for some
reason
There are 3 formats I am working with
1- .txt
2- .doc
3- .pages

Thanks - RevDave
