Matching Filename to Field, then importing

dev_synaptech
in Importing & Exporting

Featured Replies

Hi,

I'd like to import the contents of a .txt File into a container (retaining the carriage returns if possible) based upon the matching field criteria in Filemaker to a Filename in a specific folder on the desktop.

Let's say the example is that a user enters an ISBN number into a field, then executes a script that will go to a folder on the desktop that contains files labeled with the ISBN, performs a match then imports the contents of the book into a text container in Filemaker.

I figure it's an Applescript embedded in Filemaker but I can't seem to work the logic out.

TIA
