is there an easy way to call out to Perl or some such to do this work?
AppleMods' RE library provides a convenient wrapper around Perl's regex:
http://applemods.sourceforge.net/mods/Data/RE.php
One limitation to be aware of: it currently echoes input text on the
command line, which means there's a size limit on the amount of text
it can take. (The 'do shell script' command _desperately_ needs a
'stdin' parameter for passing in data directly.) It shouldn't be a
big job to extend the implementation so that larger amounts of text
are transferred by file (there's a support library, Oyster, already
written for this purpose); I'm sure I can supply some pointers if
someone wants to write a patch and submit it to AM.
And if that's not the case, what's the best cheap regex library for
AppleScript? SatImage?
I'm not sure if Satimage regex are Unicode-savvy yet? Emmanuel?
