Searched and can't find exactly what I'm looking for so here goes . . .


I'm trying to script an image import into a file. I have a folder of
images on the desktop named (image1.jpg, image2.jpg, etc) and I'd like
to import them into their corresponding records into a container field.
How do I script the file path and the import?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Oh yeah, I'm using Filemaker 8 on a mac.

Look up "using variables" in FileMaker Help or try the terms "variable
import" in Google Groups. It's been discussed quite often here.

Bottom line: you use the Set Variable[] script step to establish the path,
and specify that variable (e.g.: $MyFilePath) in the Import script step.

Or you reference them by calculated container. Which does not store the
image in the file but leaves them on your disk. Since you seem to have a
regular increasing number in the name, this should be easily enough to
write.
