The string,
"This is my - string"
simply ignores the minus sign as a word.
Any ideas on how to detect the minus sign? Offset maybe?
On the other hand, there's ...
set x to "This is my - string" set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {space} text items of x --> {"This", "is", "my", "-", "string"}
But, to get this to work correctly, you will need to set TIDs to a list of YOUR word delimiters. And, the result will contain items which are the null string.
