hi all
I'm using the following match pattern in applescripts to sort lines
of tab delimited text
{match pattern:"^([^ ]* ){3}(.*)$", sort subpattern
key:all_subpatterns}
{match pattern:"^([^ ]* ){7}(.*)$", sort subpattern
key:all_subpatterns}
it works wonderfully to sort by the 3rd column or 7th column or
whatever number indicated
this fails to sort when my text only has 3 columns and I ask to sort
the third column
my question
how can I change the pattern to sort the third column even if it's
the last column?
