Hi Fletcher,
Thanks for responding.
I think because I've been struggling to understand what's happening I've
struggled to explain the problem.
Assuming along the way that its just an app switch.
But not quite so.
Below is text messy but I've narrowed down the issue.
The presenting problem is simply that in one case Indesign opens the import
tagged text dialog and responds. In the other it misses that's tagged text
coming in.
So this Snippet transforms the text and works.
(*Process the file for InDesign*)
*tell* *application* "Tex-Edit Plus"
*activate*
*open* *file* SourceFile
*save* *window* 1 in *file* ResultFile as *string* with creator «*class*
TBB6» *with* unstyled formatting
*close* *window* 1 saving *no*
*end* *tell*
*tell* *application* "Finder"
*activate*
*end* *tell*(*Process the file for InDesign*)
*tell* *application* "Tex-Edit Plus"
*activate*
*open* *file* SourceFile
*save* *window* 1 in *file* ResultFile as *string* with creator «*class*
TBB6» *with* unstyled formatting
*close* *window* 1 saving *no*
*end* *tell*
*tell* *application* "Finder"
*activate*
*end* *tell*
Resultant text is
_______
<ASCII-MAC>
<Version:3.000000><FeatureSet:InDesign-Roman><ColorTable:=<Black:COLOR:CMYK:Process:0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,1.000000>
etc etc with paragraphs and line feeds seperating text blocks
___________
This Snippet using BBEdit
(*Process the file for InDesign*)
*tell* *application* "BBEdit"
*activate*
*open* *file* SourceFile
*save* *text document* 1 to *file* ResultFile
*close* *window* 1
*end* *tell*
*tell* *application* "Finder"
*activate*
*end*
Results in this text all before getting to ASCII-MAC and produces no line
feeds
__________
{\rtf1\mac\ansicpg10000\uc1
\deff4\deflang1033\deflangfe1033{\upr{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset256\fprq2{\*\panose
00020206030504050203}Times New Roman{\*\falt
Times};}{\f4\fnil\fcharset256\fprq2{\*\panose 00020005000000000000}Times;}
and so on
_________
What is the switch I need to get in there that resolves the raw text to the
Tex-Edit processed one ?
Thank you if you got this far
Kind Regards
Eric
