Exporting reports from FMP7

[G Sarfas]

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help as I am stuck on a problem.

I have created a script to export some data. I want to specify the resulting file to export to a specific folder in a specific format (HTML) but I also want the user to be able to enter the filename as it needs to have the date in it (or is there a way of getting the script to name the file with a consistent name and the current date)

But I cannot get it to work - either I seem to have to specify the file name along with the rest of the details or I cannot specify the details and the save as reverts to Tab separated text.

Thanks for any help

You could use a plugin to rename the file after exporting it. (Troi File plugin) Or you could use the send event script step to call a shell command that does the renaming.

Hi, please would you give me an example as I don't know how to do this?

Thanks & Regards
