This won't win any prizes, but should do the job...
tell application "TextEdit"
tell front document
set theText to text 1
set text 1 to my replaceTheText(theText, " cie ", " de ")
end tell
end tell
on replaceTheText(theText, theFromString, theToString)
tell application "TextCommands"
search theText for theFromString replacing with theToString
end tell
end replaceTheText
Thanks a lot Rob.
You have shown me the way.
The poblem is that I have other OCR mistakes to corect.
So the script became :
-- Script --
tell application "TextEdit"
tell front document
set theText to text 1
tell application "TextCommands"
set theText to (search theText for " cie " replacing with " de ")
set theText to (search theText for " dc " replacing with " de ")
set theText to (search theText for "N) " replacing with "- ")
set theText to (search theText for " O," replacing with " 0,")
set theText to (search theText for "INDICAnON" replacing with
"INDICATION")
set theText to (search theText for " ct " replacing with " et ")
set theText to (search theText for " L5-SI " replacing with " L5-
S1 ")
set theText to (search theText for " slir " replacing with " sur ")
set theText to (search theText for " sIIr " replacing with " sur ")
set theText to (search theText for "inteme" replacing with "interne")
set theText to (search theText for "exteme" replacing with "externe")
set theText to (search theText for " ci '" replacing with " d'")
set theText to (search theText for " ci'" replacing with " d'")
set theText to (search theText for " quc " replacing with " que ")
set theText to (search theText for " jc " replacing with " je ")
set theText to (search theText for " nonnal" replacing with "
normal'")
set theText to (search theText for " lc " replacing with " le ")
set theText to (search theText for " d '" replacing with " d'")
set theText to (search theText for " l '" replacing with " l'")
end tell
end tell
end tell
-- End of script --
The problem is that the changes are nicely made but only in the
result pane. The text stays unchanged. :-(
How can I save those changes to the text.
I have tried to be less awkward :
-- Script --
set searchList to {" cie ", " dc ", "N) ", " O,", "INDICAnON", " ct
", " L5-SI ", " slir ", " sIIr ", " inteme ", " exteme ", " ci '", "
ci'", " quc ", " jc ", " nonnal ", " lc ", " d ' ", " l ' "}
set replaceList to {" de ", "de'", "- ", "0,", "INDICATION", " et ",
" L5-S1 ", " sur ", " sur ", " interne ", " externe ", " d'", " d'",
" que ", " je ", " normal ", " le ", " d' ", "l'"}
tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
activate
tell window 1
repeat with x from 1 to the number of items in replaceList
replace replacing with item x in replaceList looking for item x in
searchList ¬
with cases matching and whole words matching
end repeat
end tell
end tell
-- End of script --
This does not work at all.
Nothing is simple.
