I've been using Ant Movie Catalog for over ten years, and love it. I'm a new forum member. Hope this topic is posted in the right section. I've never programmed or created a script in my life. Now I'd like to try.

Here's why: I got half my movies from my friend "Joe Smith". I don't want to type Joe Smith 200 times in the source field. I tried writing a script to do this:

program NewScript;
begin
if GetField(field checked) = 'True' then
begin
SetField('Source, 'Joe Smith');
end.

Am I getting close? Any advice, or script! is appreciated.

So you wish to updates movies whose checkbox is filled? Indeed you were very close:

Code: Select all

program NewScript;
begin
  if GetField(fieldChecked) = 'True' then
  begin
    SetField(fieldSource, 'Joe Smith');
  end;
end.

You can find the field names (constants starting by "field") in the Help of the program (in Technical info -> Script files creation).

Thank you, antp. The script worked perfectly.
