Import unique files

[Plucky]

Hi

I have set up a script to import .csv files into my FM solution but what I would like is for the script to do this without me having to select each .csv file manually. The csv files have unique file names but are all saved in the same folder.

Is this something FM can do.

Regards

Peter

This is an AppleScript solution to import all the .csv files from a fixed import folder into a FileMaker file. After importing it moves the files into a Done folder. It is a convenient method if you have to do this a lot, and can load the files into the folder manually.

Similar could be done using a "choose folder" routine. But in that case you'd likely not move them. The reason I'm using AppleScript is because of its ability to read the files in a folder. FileMaker cannot natively do that (actually I believe it can on Windows, using the Web Viewer, but that doesn't work on a Mac).
