Subject: Re: Replace Text in Lines
Hi Michael,
Hi all
I have a numbered text file with 1 to 800 lines, I need to replace text
in specific lines with text from a field. I can replace by individual
lines with the replace into a single line number, but how is this done
with mutliple odd lines ?
replace 12345 with 67890 in the text file in all the listed odd
individual line numbers.
example
67890-Dataname < field "replace" contents
set the itemdelimiter to "-"
put item 1 of fld replace into lines
299,322,345,368,391,414,437,460,483,506 of field "textfile"
Looks like you need a nice repeat loop :-)
...
set the itemdelimiter to "-"
put item 1 of fld replace into text2replace
put fld "textfile" into tTextfile
## Doing everything in memory instead of manipulating the field directly
will speed up things a LOT!
set itemdel to ","
repeat for each item i in "299,322,345,368,391,414,437,460,483,506"
put text2replace into line i of tTextfile
end repeat
put tTextfile into fld "textfile"
...
Et voila!
Hope that helps.
Michael
