![]() One reason I'd have preferred that you used BBEdit for this task is that you can't accidentally save as RTF or RTFD. The fields may be separated by 1 (or more) tab characters to make a nice neatly ordered table. Each tab-separated value is a data field.Here's what it should look like: Robert Heinlein 5.00 I meant to include an example file along with the macro, and it looks like I failed to do so. What belongs in in the data file is a tab-separated table like I thought I provided. This line does not belong – it was just to illustrate the table format: Meanwhile, in the TextEdit document called Pommette - Mail Merge List, I typed this as the first line (thinking this was what you meant by "with this format"): I want to learn, but I need extreme basics, like how writing the letters A, B, C. If you're throwing up your hands, please tell me the best place to get basic scripting literacy to make the best use of KM. NAME(TABS)EMAIL_ADDRESS(TABS)LAST_DONATION_AMOUNTįollowed immediately (no line breaks) with the names & addresses (these are made up, but I entered real ones): George Jetson $4.00 Meanwhile, in the TextEdit document called Pommette - Mail Merge List, I typed this as the first line (thinking this was what you meant by "with this format"):.I replaced the path in the Orange Read File action to: ~/Documents/Pommette – Mail Merge List.rtf so I changed to plain text in preferences it doesn't display an extension, but I'm assuming it's. Created a file named Pommette – Mail Merge List & saved it to the Documents folder where I believe it's saved as ~/Documents/Pommette – Mail Merge List.txt (at first it was saving as.So don't laugh too hard as I explain what I did: I think it's because of my basic scripting illiteracy-as closely as I try to follow your excellent instructions, I suspect I'm in that place where I'm doing the equivalent of looking for the "ANY" key. Thanks I tried this a few times with a number of variations, but the macro doesn't run. Alas, I don't do script, though I have aspirations.Ĭould I do all of this using KM, or am I better off incorporating elements of TE into KM? Who to make them smile will help me figure out a macro. So I'm hoping that someone will find my invoking Dr. ![]() I looked at the calculation variable and at the wiki about it, and my number-challenged brain isn't putting the pieces together right. ![]() Who for making my 25th year so memorable." Who, last year you contributed $4 toward my jelly bean fund, and if you gave 25% more for my 25th birthday, your gift would only be $5 or only $1 more. Who, I'm so happy to have you as a supporter! You know, Dr. In plain silly English (as an example!)ĭear Dr. So the email would have a pop-up where I'd enter an amount such as $4.00 and then a calculation would convert the increase of 25% so they'd see $5.00 as the new amount. But I also want to introduce a calculation where I want them to increase their contribution by 25%. I want to send an email that contains the person's name in a couple of places, which is fine using TE's fill-in snippets. I've hit a wall trying to do something in TextExpander, and wonder if KM could have an answer.
