I'm trying to create an application in which the user will fill in a table field. I would then like to let the user save that field as a text file under a name they chose.
This was my first attempt:
on mouseUp
ask "Save list as..."
set the defaultFolder to "/Users/rlague/Documents/Revolution-iB/RFP projecto/7.2i"
put field "daTable" into URL "file:it.txt"
end mouseUp
This script did work-- it saved the file, but the file name was "it.txt"
For my second attempt I copied most of a script from Dan Shafer's book (page 218,)--
on mouseUp
ask "Save list as..."
set the defaultFolder to "/Users/rlague/Documents/Revolution-iB/RFP projecto/7.2i"
open file it
write card field "daTable" to file it
close it
end mouseUp
This worked to the extent that a file was created with the correct name, but the file was empty.
For my third try I copied Dan Shafer's script very carefully--
on mouseUp ask file "Save list as..." with "Temp" open it write card field "daTable" to file it close it end mouseUp
With this script I get an error message: "Chunk: error in object expression" and no file is created.
If I make a slight change in this script--
on mouseUp ask file "Save list as..." with "Temp" open it write card field "daTable" to file it close file it end mouseUp
I do not get the error message, but no file is created.
So, is there a way to do what I'm trying?
Thanks!
