list of (more than one) text item delimiters


  • Subject: list of (more than one) text item delimiters
  • From: Brennan <email@hidden>

Is it possible to use more than one text item delimiter at a time, for
example, given the timecode string,

"01:23:12.03"

I'd like to be able to use the delimiters {":", "."} to fish out all the
numerical values in one fell swoop.

set {HH, MM, SS, tt} to text items of myString

If this isn't possible, can someone explain what the thinking is behind
Applescript's text item delimiters being a list?

I can't see that this has any uses whatsoever (unless they were being very
forward looking to a time when it will do what I expect).

Apologies if this has been asked before. Feel free to direct me to an
appropriate archive in lieu of a freshly written answer.

Brennan
