Hello There,
Just a quick question to everyone here.
I've been trying to remove filenames (lines) from the string that the 'files' function returns. The basic algorithm I've been using is below, but I think I've found a problem in the 'repeat for each chunkType' control structure in Rev.
Here's a little piece of code I was using to test. I've taken the filename checking out of the loop because that's not the problem. Just put this in a button's script and step through it using the variable watcher...
----- on mouseUp
put ".ds_store" & return & "Help File 1.xml" & return & "Help File 3.xml" into fileList
put 1 into i
breakpoint repeat for each line currLine in fileList delete line i of fileList add 1 to i end repeat
end mouseUp -----
Martin, your problem is that each delete shifts the content and the continued search skips some lines. What you simply need to do is to reverse the order. I mean you scan the list of files from the end to the beginning, so deletions do not affect your algorithm.
repeat with i=(the number of lines of filelist) down to 1
yes, this form of repeat is slower than repeat for but normally your list of files won't have thousands of lines, so it will do fine. If the speed is really an issue, then use the repeat for as you have it but instead of actually deleting lines, simply collect line numbers to be deleted and then delete them in another loop which uses a repeat down to 1.
