panache Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hello. I can't for the life of me get this, and I'm hoping you can help me out. I simply want an applescript to write a text string into the second repetition of a repeating field? Any ideas? I don't have much hair left to pull out (plus, I guess it's time to acquire some familiarity with applescript). TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitch Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Is there some compelling reason to do this with AppleScript? If so, I believe this thread tells you what you want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transpower Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Use the Status(CurrentRepetitionNumber) function; when that is 2, set the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Søren Dyhr Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Despite repeating fields are the trademark of the seasoned developer <g> could you do it like this: tell application "Filemaker Pro" set _aVar to display dialog "Enter a value for 2nd repetition" default answer "" set _aVar to text returned of _aVar set _bVar to cell 1 set item 2 of _bVar to _aVar set cell 1 to _bVar end tell ...Where cell 1 is the repeating field in question, remember that the field should have it's repetitions visible on the layout in question. --sd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
