Hiya,
I have a word list (taked from a folder name)
and I want to test for a spoecific word in it. The folder name goes
like this:
21 Move Title D12345 33 41 BC
I want to test if the D number is present. So far I've
coerced the name to a word list but I can't get the syntax to find a
word beginning with D and has numbers after it. The D number is not
alwats 5 characters either - older jobs had 4 characters.
Later I want to use this to check that the
construction file (Quark/Freehand etc) they have in that job folder
has the same D Number.
Here's what I have so far but the last line
errors....
More like this, I think:
set aFolder to (choose folder)
set D to CheckDNum(aFolder)
to CheckDNum(F)
tell application "Finder"
set N to name of
F
set w to words of
N
repeat with aW in
w
if first character of aW is "D" then return rest of
characters of aW as string as integer
end repeat
end tell
end CheckDNum
Many thanks,
Coj
