I need to find how to do a search in FileMaker from an external
AppleScript. At present I'm using:
show (the first record of current table whose cell "Application" contains
app_name)
set my_pw to get data cell "password" of current record
however this only works properly when there's a matching record. If not, I get
this error:
FileMaker Pro 18 Advanced got an error: Event not handled.
If I wrap it in a try block, it will return the info from the current
record — even if my search was unsuccessful. I need my_pw to be "" if no
record was found.
How can I do an actual search externally where I can use Get (
FoundCount ), or some other means, to see if a record was actually found?
Thanks,
Marc
BTW, I know that I can do this in FileMaker itself, and then just call the
script, but I'd like to do it in my AppleScript script. _______________________________________________
