Thanks, Paul. That sucks about the vertical bars, however. I have
realized that since the field names in my text file have spaces in them
also, I will not be able to turn them into record field names after all.
I'll file this away for the next time I have a file without mixed cases
and spaces in the name :-)
You can still do it:
set _text to "home phone 123 work phone 234
cell phone 345 mega phone 999" -- make sure you have tabs!
set ls to paragraphs of _text
set _text to ls as string
set my text item delimiters to tab
set ls to text items of _text
set my text item delimiters to "\",\""
set _record to run script "{<<class usrf>>:{\"" & ls & "\"}} as record"
|work phone| of _record
--> 234
|mega phone| of _record
--> 999
