Hi..
Many different ways, just go get it. One way, look up the "answer file" command in the dictionary. It would go something like:
Code: Select all
on mouseup
answer file" Which File?"
put it into tFile
open file tFile
read from file tFile until EOF
close file tFile
answer it
end mouseup
If you want to have some sort of interaction as you mentioned with your data once you download it, I think you should place it into, say, a table field, and use standard tools from there. It would be possible to do this in a running handler, but it would be more robust to deal with a field full of data. Less juggling and more easily maintained.
So, how are you going to go about all this? Write back at any time with problems, less so with requests for solutions. We have infinite patience for the former. Build, practice, fail, triumph. That is how you must learn to program.
