I’ve seached high and low on how to do this and can’t find any reference on how to do this.
I have a FileMaker database where I want to keep a log using a text field. I want to append a new line to the existing data already in the field. The “set cell” command places the new text but deletes the existing text in the field.
Anyone know the proper command to append a text field? Thank you in advance.
Without trying your script, it appears the steps this one line will do is:
- read all the text in the field
- then append the new text
- then replace the text in the field with the new appended text.
I thought about doing this. but since this is a field keeping a log, after a month of actviity it can 1800 lines. I was worried that doing it this way the task would start getting real slow as the data built increased.
