Hi list,

Is it possible to use regEx to remove spaces before and
after quotes, and, if yes, how ?

Example :
    my " beautiful " laundrette
becomes
    my "beautiful" laundrette

This was harder than I thought it would be. I have something I think works, but it isn't elegant and others can probably improve on it:

on mouseUp
  put fld 1 into tData
  put replaceText(tData,"\s{2,}",space) into tData --replace multispaces
  replace cr with " **CR** " in tData
  repeat for each word w in tData
    get w
    if it contains quote then
      replace quote with empty in it
      get quote & word 1 to -1 of it & quote
    end if
    put it & space after tText
  end repeat
  delete last char of tText
  replace " **CR** " with cr in tText
  put tText into fld 2
end mouseUp
