macaroni Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 I'm having some difficulty writing my applescript in a field. I keep having an error of "This text does not end in a quotation mark (") or is longer than 253 characters." Can anyone help me understand to properly write the applescript in a field, particularly the proper logic of when to open and close quotation marks. Below is my applescript: (it renames a file that was originally exported using export/xsl) newsletter_refnum is the field that contains the unique reference number in the database. set postname to """ & newsletter_refnum & """ tell application ""Finder"" try set NLfilename to ""NL"" & postname as string set folderPath to ((path to me) as string) & "Contents:Resources:"" set thefile to folderPath & ""NewsLetter.html"" if file thefile exist then set name of file thefile to NLfilename & "".html"" move file thefile to desktop else display dialog ""NewsLetter.html was not succesfully created" buttons {"OK"}" end if end try end tell"
