"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."
I'm not sure how Word's search & replace commands word, but wouldn't
find: "????[cr]"
replace with (nothing)
find: "???[cr]"
replace with (nothing)
find: "??[cr]"
replace with (nothing)
find: "?[cr]"
replace with (nothing)
remove all paragraphs whose contents are 4 characters or fewer? Perhaps the
same can be done with greater than 9, somehow.
