Someone earlier recommended an even better way to copy/paste a Filemaker script in text form for sharing with others:
1. Go to scriptmaker in Filemaker, select the desired script, and click "Print" 2. Click "Preview" in the print dialogue box 3. In the print preview window, copy the text of the script, then paste --- Using the above procedure, here's the ultra-simple script I wrote (suggested by a kind member of this listserve) to show a single record selected from many in a list layout: Show All Records Omit Record Show Omitted --- Here's another script, showing more detail provided by the using the "print, preview" method above: Go to Layout [ Future work ] Enter Find Mode Set Field [ Status, "Intake" ] New Record/Request Set Field [ Future Work, "Check" ] New Record/Request Set Field [ Future Work, "Maybe" ] New Record/Request Set Field [ Future Work, "Yes" ] New Record/Request Set Field [ Future Work, "Renewal" ] Perform Find [ Replace Found Set ] Sort [ Sort Order: Next Contact Date (Ascending)Wait List Date (Ascending)Course Name (Ascending)Future Work (Descending)Date created (Ascending)Record Type (Ascending)Subject (Ascending) ] [ Restore sort order, No dialog ] --- No need to fool around with Acrobat, etc. Just use the print button in scriptmaker in Filemaker, and the preview button in the print dialouge box to show the script in copyable text form.
