Re: Write underlined text to a file

At 10:36a -0400 10/02/2003, Timothy K. Wilkinson didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:

I have a script that cleans out folders of old files and writes each file
name to a text file before deleting it.

I'd like to underline or bold the root path of each folder in the text file.

For example

Path to root folder(underlined)
Path to root folder:file 1
Path to root folder:file 2

I've got all the information written to the file. I just can't figure out
how to tell it to underline or bold. It seems like there has to be a
(somewhat) simple way to do this but I'm stuck. I'm fairly new to using AS
to write to a text file. I'm running 10.2.8.

There is a way, but not very simple. You first need to decide on all the font attributes: name, size, style and color. Next we take a run of styled text and deconstruct it to separate the style from the plain text, and copy/paste the raw style data somewhere (you could put it in a property or wrap it in a subroutine). Once we have that, we can construct styled text using the raw style data.

With me so far?
