The software will read one file at a time, and will insert the content of each text file into the appropirate field in the form. Can someone help with pointing to the direction how to start this project. I have been out of field for a while, so I lost some of my old tricks and skills that I used to have. This is a Mac applicaiton Thank you. vkozme Top brisance Post subject: Re: exporting text into a text filePosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 10:20 pm Joined: Tue Oct 06, 2009 2:38 am Posts: 306 Personally I would not use a multitude of files to store data that really either belongs in a database or in a simple preferences file (assuming that there is not much data to begin with). From reading your post I would recommend using a database though. _________________ Mike Ash: Getting Answers Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 2 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
