This would "usually" work : put "theader[1]" & cr after tList put "th(1)" & cr after tList put "th(2)" & cr after tList put "th[3]" & cr after tList put "tbody[1]" & cr after tList put "tr[1]" & cr after tList put "td[2]" & cr after tList put "tra[3]" & cr after tList put "tr[11]" & cr after tList
filter tList without "th?[0-9]]" put tList But it is possible that there are more than 9 rows - in which case it will fail. What you really want to do is filter for "tr[*]" but can't because you can't escape the "[" using "\[". Thanks for the input - just wanted to check as there may be extra syntax not listed in the docs. I think the only real solution is a simple repeat loop - it may even be faster than "filter", as many test have shown previously. So: repeat for each line testLine in tList if token 1 of testLine is "th" then put testLine & CR after filteredList end if end repeat put filteredList Tip: the use of "token" instead of "word" is often really useful for parsing output from computers - think of tokens as the equivalent of works but for the way Rev thinks about scripts. 2009/5/3 Bernard Devlin <bdrun...@gmail.com> > I think this does what you require: > > put "tr[1]" & cr after tList > put "tr(2)" & cr after tList > put "tr[3]" & cr after tList > put "tr[a]" & cr after tList > put "td[1]" & cr after tList > put "tra[1]" & cr after tList > filter tList without "[t][r]?[0-9]]" > put tList > > Try playing around with the 2nd letter of the filter expression, and > using with/without. It seems to work for me.
