OK, let's take this a little further we've established that filter
reference forms should be able to accept
every obj whose propA is its propB
(and of course, the boolean should support any comparison operator -
equality, inequalities, contains, begins with etc.)
BTW, I have established that Safari 1.0.1 seems to handle this correctly!
tell application "Safari"
every document whose source contains its URL
-- try "
http://brennan.young.net"; for a positive result
end tell
Amazing! But we fall down with the likes of
tell application "Safari"
tell document 1
every word of its text whose character 1 is (its character -1)
end tell
end tell
And the following seems to be really stretching it, but then again...
tell application "Safari"
tell document 1
every word of its text whose ((characters 1 thru 2) as string) is (its
(characters -2 thru end) as string)
end tell
end tell
(These latter two simply return 'every word').
So what are the reasonable limits?
Brennan
