I realize now that the version below is more efficient requiring only
15
loops to handle the 160 character run text...
How about this version of yours?
set inputText to " email@hidden 'This is a > string?' "
cleanSpaces(inputText)
-->"email@hidden 'This is a > string?'"
on cleanSpaces(inputText)
set space2 to space & space
set inputText to space & inputText & space
repeat while inputText contains space2
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to space2
set tempS to text items of inputText
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to space
set inputText to tempS as text
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return text 2 thru -2 of inputText
end cleanSpaces
NG
Primo.
This is the functional loop and nothing else. It loops only round
( square root of (the length of the longest run of spaces) rounding up)
times.
Bravo.
