    Default Almost Successful Scripting -ATTEXT...

    I am writing a script to select everything on a certain layer, then use -ATTEXT to export some attributes, and then undo all of the changes I made. I have gotten as far as exporting the attributes, but my script will not go past this point. It continues to try to run -ATTEXT after my script enters the extract file. Does anyone know how to exit the -ATTEXT command that follows my extraction?

    -ATTEXT shows a pop-up.
    Script files die when a pop-up appears: they are not designed to handle them in any shape or form. A limitation.

    Default Re: Almost Successful Scripting -ATTEXT...

    I figured out what was wrong. It was an errant space in the script.

    Line number one of pretty much all of my script files is FILEDIA 0. It suppresses dialogue boxes until I set FILEDIA back to 1 at the end of my script.
