1) the repeat structure I want to do a repeat till the end of a list or end of file ? I did relies the repeat for each , I don't understand the logic behind it. how to use it
repeat for each line L in myList -- first time through, L contains line 1 doStuff L -- your script for processing the line -- next time through the loop, L contains line 2 and so on end repeat
2) which command tells to move to the next line (and then to "put the selectedText into myVar"), by words I "put word myWord in a repeat so it just keeps on moving. ?"end repeat" tells it to start the loop again and with "repeat for each", it automatically goes on to the next line. By way of example, here is an identical loop in a format that might seem more familiar:
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in myList put line x of myList into L doStuff L end repeat
However, "repeat for each" is MUCH faster and once you get used to the construct, very easy to write.
sorry for this silly questionThey do different things. The names of the properties may seem inconsistent to you, but all the chunking expressions get different segments of the data and there doesn't seem to be any reason why they should overlap. If you have a more precise need, then write your own function that combines some of the chunking expressions to give you exactly the information you want.
and by the way a question , why selectedText , selectedLine, don't return the same data type . The selectedLine returns the line # and the selectedText returns the text itself , shouldn't the seletedLine return the string of the line as well ? isn't an inconsistency ?
