fmp12 pro and Go. Mac 10.7.5.
I have a script working properly that saves a set of pictures to a
specific existing folder. It specifies at the top level my startup
disk called DKS27. I have other computers with the same folder
structures but the startup disks are not DKS27. How do I make this
script universal to run on my other computers. Here is the working
script:
filemac:/DKS27/Users/Shared/New_Photos_2013/Active Files/ C_Inspected/
Go.Photo.Export/

computer. Have the startup script detect what computer it runs on and
load the correct path into a global text field or variable.

In article <1l27lhl.1qjkez31uqcj26N%clkau...@gmx.ch>,
That seems rather complicated. Can FMP12 not handle relative
paths? Alternatively, does FMP12 scripting not include file system
tools to do things like return common file paths and/or the machine
name?

It's easier just to hard code the paths in a script or function.

Earlier versions ca do that, my guess is FMP12 can do it, too.

Look for functions rather than script steps; the get functions in
particular.

Set Variable ( $path ; [specify the desired path here] )
Export records ( $path )
Put a Filemaker file on you desktop and use the get ( filepath )
function to see how its path is phrased. Check the get (desktoppath )
function to see what it returns. Hard code the rest in your variable
calculation.
