--for example
set fr to open for access file "S:Users:j:Desktop:aaa.txt"
try
repeat
set x to read fr for 1000
display dialog x
end repeat
end try
close access fr
Is there any way to get it to break at the space character nearest to 1000 bytes rather than the middle of a word?
Seems like it has to be a composite operation:
set p2d to (path to desktop folder as text) set fpath to p2d & "aaa.txt" try set fd to open for access fpath set d1 to read fd for 50 set d2 to read fd until space close access fd set res to d1 & d2 {res, length of res} on error try close access fd end try end try
