Thank you! Although I didn't use your solution, trying to get it to work the
way I wanted led me down a rabbit hole until I finally came up with this text
filter (it's been a long time since I've written AppleScript.)
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $bucket;
my $counter;
while (<>) {
if ( not defined $bucket ) {
$bucket = $_;
$counter = 1;
} elsif ( $_ ne $bucket ) {
print "$counter $bucket";
$counter = 1;
$bucket = $_;
} else {
$counter++;
}
}
print "$counter $bucket\n";
Thanks again!
James
