Katir,
If you wanted to do it in a repeat loop:
repeat with x = the number of lines in tFinalTranscript down to 1
if line x of tFinalTranscript is "" then delete line x of
tFinalTranscript
end repeat

I'm missing something very simple here,
Goal: delete empty lines beginning and end of text chunk
---------------
put fld "transcript" into tFinalTranscript
# clean up extra lines at beginning and end
repeat while ((line 1 of tFinalTranscript) is empty)
delete line 1 of tFinalTranscript
end repeat
repeat until ((the last line of tFinalTranscript) is not empty)
delete the last line of tFinalTranscript
end repeat
put tFinalTranscript
exit to top
------------
It still has all the empty lines top and bottom. If I globalize the
temp variable for a bit, then test the field or the variable from the
msg box:
"line 1 of tFinalTranscript is empty" returns true
"the last line of fld "transcript" is empty" returns true
But these handlers are not deleting the blank lines as expected.. what
am I doing wrong? I don't think I need all those parentheses... only
added to try to get it to work... still doesn't
TIA
