Re: how to detect if a file is a metacard stack or not

Hi!

The early bird ...

This morning at 8 clock I have an idea myself:

     if char -3 to -1 of ImportStack is not ".mc" then
     answer "This is not the correct file!" ...

Thanks

Hi!

I wrote the following script to simplify the selection of a metacard stack to import it into my learning software:

  if the platform is MacOS then
    answer file "Wählen sie eine Datei zum Importieren aus:" with type "MSTK"
  end if
  if the platform is Win32 then
    answer file "Wählen sie eine Datei zum Importieren aus:" with "*.mc"
  end if

But when I pack an importfile as a zip, send it to my homepage and load it down again, the learning software don't detect it anymore. I think the type MSTK get lost on the way.

Therefore I threw out  the part   ... with type "MSTK"

But when I try to import a pdf-file for example I get a execution error in this line

  put the effective filename of stack ImportStack into StartMediaFolder

Now I need a script that checks if the file is a metacard stack.

If the ImportStack is not a stack then exit ...

Do anybody know a good script?

Thanks
Reinhold
