Question Selectionbox, script which opens more than one file at once?
hello everybody

I´m very new at shell and programming Smilie and i have the following question/problem:

I need a script for framemaker (based on shell) which opens a new document from a template (.fm). Then imports a .doc file and then save it as a .mif.

Actually my script works with one document!
But i need a script where i can select more than one document, but in my selectionbox i can only select one file!
Is there any trick to make a selectionbox where i can select more than one file at once?

My english is not very good by i hope you understand want i am trying to explain. I actually asked this question in more than one forum but nobody knew the answer, maybe you can help me.

please help me Smilie

thanx a lot

well this is what i have so far (see below)

i changed the function of the script a little but it works.
till now it opens the .doc files in the chosen folder (and then save it to mif).

but actually the script should open a template (N:Fame71\Templates) and import one file (the first) from the chosen folder, than save it and close it.
than the script should do it with all other files (second, third, ...) in the folder (open template, import .doc, save, close).

well i really have no idea how to write thes commands Smilie

maybe you can help me,
thx

Script:

Code:

Ah sorry, didn't see that - have no clue of that scripting language, sorry. Ein Shell Script wäre vermutlich kein Problem gewesen Smilie
