[ann] TextCommands 0.2.0

Hi all,

Just posted an update to TextCommands, a free scriptable FBA that provides AppleScripters with a range of useful commands for working with text:

http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/index.html#textcommands

This version adds a new Text Conversion Suite containing 6 new commands, including 'encode HTML' and 'decode HTML' as requested by Tim Mansour and Rob Stott. You can view the full dictionary here:

http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/TextCommands.html


Scripters who need to convert between Unicode text and 8-bit strings will also be interested in the new 'convert from unicode' and 'convert to unicode' commands which provide much more control than AppleScript alone. For example:

    tell app "TextCommands" to convert from unicode myText to "MacRoman" by replacing

will convert Unicode text to an 8-bit AppleScript string using the 8-bit MacRoman encoding, replacing any non-MacRoman characters with "?", while:

    tell app "TextCommands" to convert to unicode myText from "UTF8"

will convert an 8-bit AppleScript string containing UTF8-encoded data to a Unicode text value.


Comments, bug reports and suggestions for new commands are all welcome.

Enjoy!
