Hello

Can someone quickly help me on this :

Running Filemaker 8.5 advanced on XP

I set up the import script :
- import from file
- filewin:/C:/Documents and Settings/Desktop/test/$FileToOpen
- Set variable :
- name = $FileToOpen

But now I'm stuck for the value ?

I want the value to be either what is in the copy/paste memory or a
value from a field.
And in either case I want that that value is completed with the
extention .txt

Can you help me ?

Kind regards

It is almost allways a bad idea to use copy/paste, because the clipboard
contents might not be what you expected. Especially in a multy user
environment.

and as for adding the extension, this is simply added to the import from
name

$FileToOpen = Name & ".txt"
