Scribe FileAsText for a reference url?

[mebrett]

Hi all,

I would like to grab the text from a word doc and insert it into a field. I know that Scribe can do this for a container, but I'm not using containers for my documents. Instead, I use a stored filepath, file name, and extension to create a URL for OpenURL. I've tried building a script where ScribeDocLoad (filepath & file name & ext ) but it comes up with an error. Am I attempting the impossible?

ScribeDocLoad is the correct function to use. What is the path that you are using? Make sure that the path you are passing in is correct and points to a valid file.

ScribeDocLoad("/Users/myUser/Desktop/somefile.doc")

You can see what your error is by calling ScribeLastError after receiving "ERROR" from a function.
