One of the great strengths of FileMaker is its ability to export data to a user’s computer in a variety of formats. ... with FileMaker Pro Advanced 17 (and up), allowing much-improved organization of scripted exports.
Now, when you specify the path, exporting script-steps will create a new directory if it doesn’t already exist.
You can even create nested directories.

... Custom headers are useful, particularly for end users, because they provide intelligible header names when downloaded FileMaker files are opened in other applications.
We developers don't always use intuitive field names when we're in the heat of custom app development. It's usually a bunch of geeky gibberish only the coder can understand. FileMaker 18 actually simplifies our custom header export process a bit, thanks to a few of the new script steps that this version offers.

Exporting Data to iCal, Outlook, Google Calendar, etc. I’d never done this before, but I did a bit of reading on Wikipedia and elsewhere, and it turns out to be fairly straight forward.
I don’t claim that what follows is in any way authoritative, just that it works… and not just with iCal, but with Outlook, Google Calendar and any other program that recognizes the iCalendar format.

FileMaker 17 introduces a useful new feature called “Create Directories” when creating files. This works with saving a copy or clone of the database, as well as exporting PDFs or text files. I decided this was a good time to update my old Backup database script. If I am about to make a major change to a layout etc, I can invoke this to give me a date and timestamped version of the database. This script could also be useful when developing for people who are using the database in a stand alone environment (ie. not on FileMaker Server), running it with FileMaker Pro client. Because you don’t know much about the client’s environment, such as where they want to backup to or the folder they want to backup to, it is useful to have a general purpose script like this. See below for the solution.
