I'm trying to create a script which will take a (very long... probably too
long for Applescript's memory buffer) list of items in Microsoft Word, and
eliminate those which are shorter than 4 characters or longer than 9. Each
item is separated by a carriage return, and I'd like to eliminate the
carriage returns along with the deleted item, so that I'm left with a neat
list with no vertical spaces between items.
Michelle tried to help me with this general concept yesterday, using a simple
text file and she was incredibly generous with her assistance, but the list
i'll be working with is too long for Simple Text or the Scriptable Text
Editor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying for many hours now,
and I think my head is about to explode! ;-)
