A real number can’t go after this “"”.

Unknown error -2740

changing to:
/Volumes/data/cortical/Desktop/out.txt
same error

Your path /Volumes/... looks invalid. Open Terminal.app

cd Desktop
pwd

and take result as path.

Jens

user(s) are on a separate partition 'data'

imac27:desktop cortical$ pwd
/Volumes/data/cortical/desktop
imac27:desktop cortical$

Shell is case sensitive.

Data -> data
Desktop -> desktop

Jens

1. file dragged onto shell
/Volumes/data/cortical/Desktop/aa.html

2. cd desktop
pwd
/Volumes/data/cortical/desktop

(I'll have to remember there are case issues;
file dragged into shell = upper
pwd - lower
but cd accepts lower; imac27:~ cortical$ cd desktop
imac27:desktop)

SCRIPT STEP:
"do shell script \"echo \\\""&
Substitute( fUser::g_text;"¶";Char(10))&
"\\\" > /Volumes/data/cortical/desktop/out.txt\""

error

Maybe you have a problem with characters which look like
double quotes but aren't.
There is an option within 'use ... quotes' (I don't
know the wording in English)
which should not be checked.

"Curly quotes" is the commonly used name. More correctly they're called
"typographer's quote marks".

But those nor replacing the carriage return / paragraph marks is the problem
that the original person is having. There's something a little peculiar
going on to get all those extra HTML codes inserted via a simple Text file
export ... it's almost as if the Field displaying / formatting the data as a
webpage rather than normal Text, but I don't know enough about newer
versions of FileMaker to even guess at why or how.
