I am having problems dealing with carriage returns when I use "get pref" to
access an external text file.
I have run across this movie script which I am told will pull the hard
returns:
on CRLF2CR source
set dest to ""
repeat while true
set theOffset to offset(numToChar(13), source) -- changed from
numToChar(10)
if NOT theOffset then exit repeat
put char 1 to (theOffset - 1) of source after dest
delete char 1 to theOffset of source
end repeat
put source after dest
return dest
end CRLF2CR
I understand movie scripts as a concept, however I am quite new to lingo and
have a hard time understanding how to apply this each time I access my
external file.
I would really appreciate any advice that someone might have!! Deadline is
near!! (As usual...)
