Hello,
I want to read and process StyledText data that I will get from the
clipboard in MacPerl.
I know that StyledText data can be splitted in to a record of "ktxt" data
and "ksty" data. The following AppleScript script:
set stxt to the clipboard as styled text
set stxtRecord to another data of stxt but type is record
set txt to <<class ktxt>> of stxtRecord
set stl to <<class ksty>> of stxtRecord
stl
returns something like this:
<<data styl000F00000000000D000A00030100000A0000000000000000000...>>
I have a MacPerl script which gets the 'styl' resource from a file (of
SimpleText type), and analyses it (it is a friend of mine who wrote this
script); what I would like to do is:
write an AppleScript script (or a Frontier script) which would...:
1. get some StyledText data from the clipboard;
2. split this data into a TEXT data and a styl data
[------ These steps are done by the above script]
3. pass them to a MacPerl script in this way:
tell application "MacPerl"
set res to do script {scriptPath, TEXT_data, styl_data} mode Batch
end tel
and get the result.
Is this possible? I would appreciate any thoughts.
Thank you very much in advance.
