- Thread-topic: Select text (numeric words) between brackets
Thanks Emmanuel,
Is there a syntax which selects every text with brackets?
ideal would be no words but only numbers.
This is what I have now:
tell application "QuarkXPress Passport"
tell document 1
activate
try
set InputString to selection as string
find text "\\([^]]+\\)" in InputString with regexp and string
result
end try
end tell
end tell
This is the return: (example)
find text "\\([^]]+\\)" in "12,63 (15,28) 11,49 (13,90) 10,36 (12,54)
8,44 (10,21)" with regexp and string result
"(15,28) 11,49 (13,90) 10,36 (12,54) 8,44 (10,21)"
Why does it only grap the first number which is (15,28) and the other
numbers I did not want to be returned?
I expect (in this example) a return like this:
"(15,28) (13,90) (12,54) (10,21)"
Then my idea would be to return this to quark and replace the font of these
numbers....
Any feedback is much appreciated
