Text file creation

[way]

Hi

I have an simple FM5 database (Macintosh) with only 2 fields called "name" and "message". I need to create an script that export content of field "message" into an text file called "name".

For example:

If in the database is a record of this type: "name"=Fred; "message"= Hi, Fred

I need to create an text file called Fred and content of this file have to be: Hi Fred.

Can anybody help me? thanks to all. Way

As you can't automaticly define a filename in filemaker, you have to help you with a plug in. Try "Troi File-Plugin" from Troi. Here you can use your name field for the name of your export file.

I think you should get help from the Applescript gurus here. I am pretty sure you could export the file or use Simpletext and then have Applescript name it.
