I have succesfully bashed from terminal:
lp -d Internal_Modem -o phone=9999999 /Users/TWS/documents/tempx
followed by
open /Users/TWS/Library/Printers/“Internal Modem.app”
thus sending a fax
and viewing its send progress
but sending a fax from within filemaker [ Applescript - “do shellscript” ] script has been challanging
Question;
how to correctly imbed spaces within variable names and file names > some with hidden extensions is trickey
had it for a moment , lost it and have spent hours and hours tryin to get the syntax right
example format pattern;
do shell script lp -d Internal Modem -o phone= [current filemaker field value with space in name] [filepath / (some names with spaces & or hidden extensions)]
close to workable filemaker script;
“do shell script”&“"”&“lp -d Internal_Modem -o phone=”&job to payee::fax number&" ‘“&”/Users/TWS/Documents/temp.pdf"&"’“&”""
any tips would be most appreciated.
