watsj Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I am using apple scripts with my database to manage my file folders. The record in the database hold the names of the folders. I am using apple scripts to create and delete folders, but I am having some trouble because I cannot figure out how to write a caculation which will export the " character. I want to create an caculation field that outputs the following: tell application "Finder" delete "volumeX:folderY:fileZ" end tell the path looks like this in the caculation: "volumeX:" & fieldY & fileZ ------------------------------------------------------ I have tried to use 2 global auto enter fields at the begining & ending of my caculation which contain the data: field 1: tell application "Finder" delete " field2: " end tell The propblem with this is that my database resets these fields every time I close the file. What can I do??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watsj Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 I already figured it out. Simply place a " in place of each " that needs to be entered into the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
