BE_FileImport ( filePath ; { compressBoolean } )
Description
Imports the contents of the file at filePath into a container field or variable, and optionally compresses the field using the built in gzip compression. This provides a similar functionality to the Insert File script step, but the plugin function is also available via FileMaker Server whereas the step doesn't work on server.
Parameters
- filePath : The path to locate the file.
- compressBoolean ( optional, default:True ) : True for compression or False for uncompressed.
Keywords

Version History
- 3.0.0 : First Release
- 4.0.2 : Renamed from BE_ImportFile
Notes
Also note that you can convert container types within a container via the BE_ConvertContainer function, so you can convert the resulting file to an image if required.
