Description

The SAVEit plug-in will allow you to dynamically save information from FileMaker to a user specified text file. SAVEit has several useful functions for exporting text. You can name each text file on the fly, and you can create directories on the fly. If you have a path that does not exist you can have SAVEit create the path automatically for you, or abort the save. SAVEit also allows you to control what is saved by letting you abort saves, write over text files, append to files, or rename files. Possible uses for this plug-in include exporting a database as html for uploading to your ISP, or creating log files for database use.
