Reply To: Script for getting XML to ID from webserver

Using the built-in “Prompt” command:

Where it says '~/Documents/”, you must fill in the default path you are using. Make sure to end it with a /slash/ — except when there is some text in the file name before the unique id, of course.

This requires you to enter the exact ID. Another possibility could be to have a script first scan the default path for all files ending with “.xml” and then present this list to you, so it's really just a point-and-click excercise. But I'm not sure that would work on a server as well — getting the names of files in a folder is meant to, well, get the names of files in a folder. :)

If you want to experiment with this, try the following script. Enter your server path at the prompt and check if it returns anything useful.
