 I am still surprised that AppleScript doesn't do the normal thing and
 just return a comma/return (or tab/return) delimited text file instead
 of the  curly brackets. Thank God there are not curly brackets in the
 database.
Jim,

I don't have FileMaker so I can't test this, but what do you get if you
say:
        get every record as string
in the AppleScript?
AppleScript has decided to give you a list and that may end up easiest
to process, but try coercing it to a string and see what happens.
Cheers,
Sarah

Sarah,

You are a champ, proving the superiority of string theory! It returns 
a tab/return delimited string.

Unfortunately, for a big file, I get an "execution error." But I got 
that without the "as string." I don't think this is a Run Rev 
capacity problem. I am able to import the file into a varaibe (or a 
field). I  suspect that AppleScript has limits on string lengths.

Back to the tried-and-true--importing a text file.
