You may use TextEdit to read the file's contents with this kind of code :

set theFilePath to (path to desktop as text) & "Sans titre.rtf"

tell application "TextEdit"
open file theFilePath
set theText to text of document 1
end tell
theText

But maybe there is a way to do the same using an Unix command.

Thanks, this helps a lot.

I mentioned shell because sed would be the easiest way to find a text string, I think, but I’m sure it can be done in AS.

Here is a script supposed to achieve the entiere goal :

# I stored the text of your original message in "Sans titre.rtf"

set theFilePath to (path to desktop as text) & "Sans titre.rtf"

tell application "TextEdit"

open file theFilePath

set theText to text of document 1

end tell

set listOfFileNames to {"comfortable", "TextEdit", "Yvan KOENIG", "Weisbin"}

set foundNames to {}

repeat with aName in listOfFileNames

set aName to aName as text

if theText contains aName then set end of foundNames to aName

end repeat

foundNames

--> {"comfortable", "TextEdit", "Weisbin"}
