I know this is primarily an ExtendScript forum, but I see other questions about FS, so thought I would give it a shot.
My project uses an FS to get data from an Access database and create a structured assembly consisting of a graphic and an accompanying table . All great, but the FS has to be run several hundred times manually. I'd like to have a wrapper FS that runs this assembly creation FS automatically.
The assembly creation FS has a popup window that takes 3 parameters. Basically, the wrapper FS would read these parameters from an Excel/.csv file, insert them in the popup window, then go to a folder and select a graphic or graphics. After creating the assembly, the wrapper program would move the insertion point and run the assembly creation FS again, and so forth until the loop has completed.
I have no knowledge of FS but I do have programming skills. Was wondering if this is feasible and if so, could someone point me to some examples that might assist me? Obviously, it would be better if I had the source for the assembly creation FS and could just insert the looping code there, but I don't have the source and don't know who did it.
Thanks,
AH
