Hello:
I've, once again, run into the limitations of my knowledge or
ability... This is what happens when a Fine Art major attempts to
code...
I'm trying to extract information from a formatted text file, and what
I want to end up with is a list of the items extracted. Is there a good
generalized routine for accumulating results into a list while
repeating?
Here's the chunk that I'm working on, but it won't make a whole lot of
sense out of context:
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "{" -- Check out lines of
file starting with open bracket
set i to text items of extContent -- for each line
repeat with foundString in i -- repeat loop
if foundString contains "ImageSaver" then -- further narrowing
selection
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " " -- break into "words"
set gotIt to {text item 8 of foundString}
log gotIt -- Here gotit has the value I want
end if
end repeat
This produces a log that successfully lists the values I want, on each
repeat, but I want it stuck in a list for storage and manipulation.
Does that make sense?
Thanks in advance for your help.
