Apple

I have not used Python or Perl. If I don’t get this resolved, I will look into both.

I am not experience enough in the ways of Apple Script Foo... but if it supports Regular Expressions they are a likely answer to your question.

Or you could solve your problem with Python or Perl which do support regular expressions.

Subject	Simple text question

Set file1text to read file (hotfile0 from 1
Set gterm to every paragraph of file1text
Repeat with aword in gterm
Display dialog aword
Set wordcnt to number of words in aword
Repeat with x from 1 to wordcnt
Display dialog word x of aword
End repeat
End repeat

Sample text

6000[F]this is test (#1).

6001[F]this is test (#2).

Display dialog aword - displays - 6000[F]this is test (#1).

Word x of aword ignores the square bracket and the parenthesis. What am I
missing? I tried set newword to word x of aword as string - did not work.

6000
F
This
is
test
#
1

I want to test which word contains [F].

Thanks

Ruby
