Hi All
I'm hoping that someone on this mailing
list has some experience of using the Satimage Regular _expression_ OSAX
I've been trying to write an Applescript
using this OSAX which looks for erroneous characters within file names
eg. commas, brackets, slashes etc. using regular expressions. The problem
I have with it is that when the "find text" command does not
find any of the character searched for it returns an error. Here's a snippet
of code
property
rejectFolder
:
":afolder:somewhere"
as
alias
tell
application
"Finder"
if
filetype
=
"JPEG"
or
filetype
=
"TIFF"
then
--Check
and rename the name of the file
set
origfile
to
((container
of
origfile
as
string)
&
name
of
origfile)
as
alias
set
currentfileName
to
name
of
(origfile)
set
nameWithOutExt
to
characters
1
thru
-5
of
currentfileName
set
extension
to
(characters
-4
thru
-1)
of
currentfileName
set
extension
to
extension
as
text
--
The Regular _expression_ Part
set
theTextFound
to
(find
text "[^[:alnum:]||[[.-_
]]]" in
nameWithOutExt
with
regexp)
(*
This returns the following error message if no matches found
"Finder got an error:
No result was returned from some part of this _expression_."
*)
if
matchPos
of
theTextFound
>
0
then
move
origfile
to
rejectFolder
end
if
end
if
end
tell
I have a couple of questions
1. Is this the correct behaviour for the
OSAX
2. if so, is the only way to handle said
error to capture it in a try-on error block
3. Has anyone got a better way of doing
this
