Hello
I want to replace every chunks of space characters embedded in a text file by a single TAB one.
I was said tha the command vi :
:%s/ */ctrl-i/g
is able to do the trick.
Alas, I have no idea of the way I may trigger it with a do Shell Script command.
The scheme would be :
set the_path to path:to:the:original:text:file
set the_path_Unix to posix path of the_path
set the_path_qUnix to quoted form of the_path_Unix
set edited_text to do Shel Script apply_vi_cmd to the_path_qUnix
I hope that somebody will be able to give the correct incantation.
Thanks in advance.
I hope that my question is clear enough because for the old frenchy, it's time to switch off.
