Adam,
I’m afraid I find AppleScript impossibly verbose for this kind of simple
text munging. I don’t know what your docs look like but, supposing each
link is on a separate line, then the Perl script below, saved as a text
filter, will change all the asterisks to the appropriate number. If
not, then the script can almost certainly be modified to do the job,
however the doc is laid out. This script presumes that the docs have
UNIX line endings. If they don’t then again it can easily be modified.
If you post a snippet from a typical doc then it will only take a few
moments to write a working filter
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
if (m~http://tidbits~) { s~\[\*\]~[1]~ }
if (m~https://leanpub~) { s~\[\*\]~[2]~ }
print;
}
