I will have a set of files that follow a pattern of
(1) disposable header text that always ends with "VALUES (" which is
found only once in the text.
(2) the required data that I must preserve.
(3) disposable footer text that always begins with ");/*!" which is
also found only once in the text.
I need to create an appleScript that will automate this regardless of
the other contents of each of these sections. Is this doable, and if
so, can you suggest how?
I wouldn't bother with AppleScript but create a UNIX filter something
like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $print;
while (<>) {
s~.*VALUES \((.*)~$1~ and $print=1;
s~(.*)\);/\*!.*~$1~ and print $1 and $print=0 and $last=1;
print if $print;
last if $last;
}
