Hi Michelle
I tried this but does not work. What am I doing wrong, it just displays CN
not found or TO not found.
tell application "Finder"
set file1text to read file ("Macintosh HD:Ruby:Paragraph Count:Issue
List:M808") from 1
set gterm to every paragraph of file1text
repeat with aWord in gterm
set sname to characters 19 thru 20 of aWord
if sname is in {"CN", "TO", "LS"} then
display dialog (sname as string) & " found"
else
display dialog (sname as string) & " not found"
end if
end repeat
end tell
Thanks for your help
Ruby
