Thanks Troy, Well, that was really the only thing giving me pause. Guess it's time to jump in and make it all Lingo...or at least try it and see how the two compare (perl vs. lingo/PregEx implementation). On Tuesday, May 25, 2004, at 13:12 US/Eastern, Troy Rollins wrote: PregEx has a BLAZING fas

Hi Troy, PregEx has worked really well for me (for some basic text searching stuff) on some other projects. However, this project involves reading in lots of text from separate structured text files on CD-ROM. I guess it's not (necessarily) the parsing but the "reading in" part of it that has m

Hi Cole, That's what I'm doing w/a newer version - and that will certainly be a much "cleaner" solution. The small difference is that for my new version I'm using a perl "executable" for Darwin (vs. the older MacPerl I'm using as a stopgap). I'm using "do shell script" through zScript Xtra to l

What are you trying to do in the perl? Why not try applescript instead? Or better yet, use a combination of the two (at least for OSX): do shell script "/usr/bin/perl /volumes/YourCD/yourscript.pl" -- Cole [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.co

It's major text processing stuff - perfect Perl job. For me, at least, it'd be much harder (if possible) to do it in AppleScript. Probably even possible to do a native-lingo version but that'd be many more lines of codes and maybe (almost certainly) slower. I'm around the permissions thing now.

Hi grimm... Thanks...have been toiling for hours trying to figure this bugger out. I'm convinced at this point it's not a permissions issue (I've tried what you suggest). Seems more a MacPerl runtime on Classic difficulty. Way off topic. Thanks for responding though, Gilles On Tuesday, May

What about using something like fileio or buddy to create a blank text file and set it's permissions, then run the perl app to futz with the file? Could also be the 'classic' app.. [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post
