Long story short: I'm needing to open some word processing files that can't be opened in Mac OSX Lion (Lion vs. Rosetta thing...) and need a bit of helping creating a Text Factory.
When I open the files in BBEdit, I get a string of characters, anywhere from 50-100 characters (such as "400000 0ÇÇ 480048 -2 2 91A 20 0Å 20 -1Ç 91F 921 909 90B 0¬ 2 13 91A 1DB FFF") that are immediately followed by a COMMA, then begins the text. Is there a way to create a Text Factory that will look for the first instance of this COMMA, then delete it and everything PRECEDING it? Also, there's a block of text at the end of every doc containing similar strings. I guess what I need there is something like "find the LAST instance of a period, then delete every character after that." Or is something like this better suited to an AppleScript? Any ideas where I can start here? Many thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
