Hello again Jean,
When I do this:
set result to (find "<title>" searching in ¬
(alias "full HFS path to my file") ¬
options {starting at top:true} with selecting match)
if (found of result) then .....
Script debugger tells me, for the last line
Variable result is undefined.
If I execute with option returning results, the variable is defined but its
structure does not correspond with what the script given in the manual for
the replacement part expects as structure...
