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
This part works here, with or without the parentheses.
Thoughts:
Are the leading lines really empty? For example, you don't have a
crlf there instead of a normal return. Or possibly you have set a
different lineDelimiter.
repeat until ((the last line of tFinalTranscript) is not empty)
delete the last line of tFinalTranscript
end repeat
This may not do what you expect if the last char is a return.
Although it displays as though there is a blank line, Rev will
consider the last line to be the line before the final return. You
could add this after the second loop:
if char -1 of tFinalTranscript is return then delete char -1 of
tFinalTranscript
