set myPrefsFile to (choose file)
open for access myPrefsFile
set prefsContents to read myPrefsFile using delimiter {return} as text
close access myPrefsFile
set txtvar1 to item 1 of prefsContents
***
the problem is that the text it returns is 'coded'
as if opened by fx. BBedit
i.e. there is a lotta code in the start of the text returned
i am trying to isolate a specific paragraph way down in the text and
so far I've narrowed it down to 'just' having to ask for paragraph
(x+1) if I in plain text would want paragraph x
i can live with that so long as I can be certain that all the
'code' up front as paragraph 1 stay in 1 paragraph
but
is there a way to get the text as it appears in fx. AppleWorks / TextEdit ?
