Does anyone have a handler kicking around that will remove every
instance of
a substring from a string?
For example:
"Gnarlodious.util:Workshop.util:Forth.util:Mops.util:MopsManual.util:"
Will morph into:
"Gnarlodious:Workshop:Forth:Mops:MopsManual:"
with removing substring ".util"
Here ya go Rachel
set anyStr to
"Gnarlodious.util:Workshop.util:Forth.util:Mops.util:MopsManual.util:"
my doRplc(anyStr, ".util", "")
--> "Gnarlodious:Workshop:Forth:Mops:MopsManual:"
on doRplc(txtStr, srchStr, rplcStr)
set {oldDelims, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's
text item delimiters, {srchStr}}
set temp to every text item of txtStr
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {rplcStr}
set txtStr to temp as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
return txtStr
end doRplc
