Thanks!
BTW, this seems to work pretty well in OS X 10.2 if you don't mind writing
temp files.
Let me know if you can think of other characters that need escaping!
set search_string to text returned of ,
(display dialog "Text to search for:" default answer "search")
set replacement_string to text returned of ,
(display dialog "Text to replace it with:" default answer "replace")
set this_item to ,
(choose file with prompt "Choose your victim - a text file:")
set my_th to this_item as string
set the_sed_o to POSIX path of my_th as string
set search_r to replace_chars(search_string, "
", "
")
set search_r to replace_chars(search_string, " ", "\\ ")
set search_r to replace_chars(search_string, "/", "\\/")
set replacement_r to replace_chars(replacement_string, "
", "
")
set replacement_r to replace_chars(replacement_string, " ", "\\ ")
set replacement_r to replace_chars(replacement_string, "/", "\\/")
set theInfo to info for alias my_th
set the_name to name of theInfo
set out_er to "/private/tmp/com.mycompany.findrep." & the_name
do shell script "sed \"s/" & search_r & "/" & replacement_r & ,
"/g\"" & space & "\"" & the_sed_o & "\"" & ,
space & ">" & "\"" & out_er & "\""
do shell script "cp" & space & "\"" & out_er & "\"" & ,
space & "\"" & the_sed_o & "\""
do shell script "rm" & space & "\"" & out_er & "\""
on replace_chars(this_text, bahad, goohood)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the bahad
set the item_list to every text item of this_text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the goohood as string
set this_text to the item_list as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return this_text
end replace_chars
