I have written a script that loops thru an AppleWorks document looking
for specific characters and replacing them eg ensuring a period/full
stop has a single space after it. As you can imagine, it takes quite a
while to do this even in a document of only a few hundred words.
I can see a big problem with your algorithm: have you tried it with
numbers, e.g., "$1,234,567.89", in the document?
Also, what about periods that are followed by more than one space? Do
you want to leave them as they are, or do you want to reduce them to
one space after the period?
