Apple

Hey Yvan,

Did the OP mention case conversion? I must have missed that...

I usually use the Satimage.osax for upper/lower case conversions in Applescript, but there are other options.

I imagine Shane will chime in with an ASObjC library that will do the job quite nicely as well.

Best Regards,

Chris

set _string to "É UM MAÇO ; Œ Ä Â Ü Û"

set sioLwr to lowercase _string

--> "é um maço ; œ ä â ü û"

set sioUppr to uppercase sioLwr

--> "É UM MAÇO ; Œ Ä Â Ü Û"

set string2 to "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."

cng("\\b(.)", "\\l\\1", _string) of me

--> "é uM mAÇO ; œ ä â ü û"

cng("\\b(\\w)", "\\u\\1", string2) of me

--> "Now Is The Time For All Good Men To Come To The Aid Of Their Country."

on cng(findText, changeText, srcData)

change findText into changeText in srcData with regexp without case sensitive

end cng
