Does anyone have an idea why I cannot set AppleScript's Text Item delimiters
to "\" ??
When I attempt to do so, and then check the script, I get an "expected "
instead got end of line" error. So when I add the " where it wants it I get
a line that says
Set Applescript's text item delimiters to "\"" (at this point the script
checks out fine.)
But doing this, the \'s that I want to replace are ignored because it's
looking for \" instead of \.
Help! I have to be able to replace the \'s in a variable given by the user.
I can set the text item delimiters to anything else and it replaces just
fine, but the \ just doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!
