Is there something external to alter scripts?

[stann]

Hi

I have a whole bunch of scripts that need to be applied to a different field. Is there anything that will let me take the script stuff to a word processor and some how bring it back to the same file intact but just the modifications made in the scripts externally. Is there any way to get all the scripts to a word processor and then sent them back?

Thanks

No.

Scripts can be imported from one FMP file to another.

In your case it might be easier thinking about renaming/redefining the field.

What do the scripts do? Since you're on a Mac, you have an applescript option, and applescript can write to a field by designating a variable field name.

Try this: duplicate the file. Rename the field in the second file, then import the scripts back into the first file.

Why not just duplicate one of the script, change the variable, than duplicate the next script (or same script), change that variable, and so on, and so on?
