Hey Warren,
Not really.
Here's a quick and dirty script (assumes "dataFile.txt" exists on the desktop):
set f to "" & (path to desktop) & "dataFile.txt"
tell application "BBEdit"
try
set findResult to find "^DataName(1|10|15)\\b.+" searching in
front text document ¬
options {search mode:grep, starting at top:true,
returning results:true}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " : "
set valueList to {}
repeat with i in found matches of findResult
set end of valueList to text item 2 of match_string of i
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tab
set valueList to valueList as string
set dataFile to open f
set end of text of dataFile to valueList & linefeed
save dataFile to f
on error errMsg number errNum
beep
tell me to display dialog "Error: " & errMsg & return & "Error
Number: " & errNum
end try
end tell
Personally I'd use the Satimage.osax for my regex (again quick and dirty):
#
==============================================================================================
# Find Handler - Returns Specified String - Satimage.osax
#
==============================================================================================
on fndUsing(fndStr, returnStr, dataSource, caseSensitive, regexFlag, wholeWord,
allOccurrences, stringResult)
try
set findResult to find text fndStr ¬
in dataSource ¬
case sensitive caseSensitive ¬
regexp regexFlag ¬
whole word wholeWord ¬
using returnStr ¬
all occurrences allOccurrences ¬
string result stringResult
return findResult
on error # errMsg number errNum
return false
end try
end fndUsing
tell application "BBEdit"
try
set textData to text of front window
set foundText to fndUsing("^DataName(1|3|10|15)\\b : (.+)",
"\\2", textData, ¬
false, true, false, true, true) of me
set foundText to join foundText using tab
# WRITE foundText TO FILE
on error errMsg number errNum
beep
tell me to display dialog "Error: " & errMsg & return & "Error
Number: " & errNum
end try
end tell
In any case a simple task.
