Re: Return Delimiter

Setting a variable to every paragraph will do the trick. The delimiter worked with a space but not the return key. I also found that if I used the code
set DataInfo to read MyRefNumber using delimiter "
as list for 500
and compiled it in Script Debugger then moved it to the other machine and didn't ever compile it with Script Editor, it remained working.

Thanks for the help!


I wish to add that I am not sure that the delimiter defined by the script is a return.
If I remember well, the Script Editor in 10.4.8 defaults to linefeed.

Try this:

set fileContentAsText to read file xxxxxxxx
set fileContentAsList to every paragraph of fileContentAsText

As far as I know
"every paragraph" is considering return and newline.

Several things to worry about. Most likely in this case is that file myRefNumber isn't return delimited - it's using unix endings (ASCII character 10, or it's from a Windows machine using return & lineFeed (ASCII character 10). Finally, if the text is unicode, you'll have to account for that.

I'm trying to set my delimiter to "Return" reading a file but it's not work in Script Editor. Funny thing is that it does work in Script Debugger but this isn't on the machine I'm deploying it to so I wish to make it work with Script Editor. I end up with just a list of 1 item so the last line errors. Anyone know anything about this or do I need to make a return character differently? I simply hit a return in between two quotes.

set DataInfo to read MyRefNumber using delimiter "

TheProcess to item 2 of DataInfo --errors here
