LiveOak Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 I would user a FM plug-in such as the Troi-File plug-in. It has a full range of file handling features. -bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droosan Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 I figured it out thanks. I put together an applescript to tell bbedit to fill a file with what I want and save it with the file name I want. I don't even need to export. horay Where do you find plug-ins like that? Yes, I'm clueless. I've been using FM for years and only found this site today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droosan Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 I would like a database to export one html file for each record in the database. I thought of writing a FM script which found each record in turn, omitting the rest, and doing "export found". The problem is that using FM scripting there doesn't seem to be anyway to give the different files different names. Thom in another thread, very helpfully, suggested using AppleScript to rename the file after it has been exported. The problem with that is that I know squat about AppleScript. I am willing to learn. I opened the script editor, opened the Finder's dictionary. There are lots of commands there: Open, Close, Quit, Print,... but not Rename. Anyone? Anyone know of another way to save one field as a text file with the filename given by another field of the same record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
