Should Josh first set a variable to the current test delimiters so
that he might
return it to that after his script is done with the text parsing?
Something like:
set originalDel to current text item delimiter
--rest of script
set textVar to "Text With Spaces"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {space}
set itemList to (text items of textVar) as list
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"_"}
set textVar to (itemList as text)
--finished
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to originalDel
The above is neither tested nor known to work, probably doesn't. I am actually
asking because I don't know it this precaution is relevant.
