Hi Yvan,

And now a shorter one using some complementary handlers.

property sticky : ASCII character (202)
set textBlock to "item1  item2    'item 3'  [item 4]"
set delimiter to " "
set quotePairList to {{quote, quote}, {"'", "'"}, {"[", "]"}} --

set textBlock to normalize(textBlock, quotePairList)

set liste to spaces2space(textBlock)

Thanks for your efforts. This script seems much better, but still has a few bugs, I think, such as these results:

set textBlock to "item1  item2    'item 3'  [item 4]" -- ie your script's test
--> {"item1", "item2", "", "item 3", "item 4"}

But should be:
--> {"item1", "item2", "item 3", "item 4"}

And this test:
set textBlock to "item1"
--> {"i", "t", "e", "m", "1"}
But should be:
--> {"item1"}

and this:
set textBlock to "item1  'item[2]'"
--> {"item1", "item2"}
But should be:
--> {"item1", "item[2]"}

etc

Thanks,
Tom
