Re: Menu parser

Try this :

put the text of btn "Foo" into tMenuText
-- strip off the elading tabs for submenus
replace tab with empty in tMenuText
-- now filter out the divider lines
repeat for each line tMenuLine in tMenuText
  if tMenuLine is not among the items of "-,(-"
  then put tMenuLine &return after tStrippedList
end repeat
-- finally clean up the trailing return
delete char -1 of tStrippedList

Then the variable tStrippedList should contain what
you want. I was looking for a way to "filter" instead
of the "repeat" loop but didn't find one right away.


Not exactly, Jan. This retains the non-selectable lines of a menu which need to be stripped. I'm having a re-think here.
