Maybe if you do this?
set the RTFtext of the templatefield to RTFtextFromFile
put the text of the templatefield into fileText
reset the templatefield
and then operate on the variable fileText. That is, use the engine to
convert the RTFtext to plain text.

Hmm, that's a thought.
However, I'm doing just fine with HTML text instead :)
Now, if you happen to know of a list of English intransitive verbs . .
. .
Richmond "Nuttier than a fruitcake" Mathewson.
Well . . . the stack works, but as I have not loaded the whole text to
be analysed into a variable, but am doing it line by line, the whole thing
is taking far, far too long . . .
After 3 hours the stack has just passed line 56,362 of the Gutenberg
Library's Complete Jane Austen ( and that is only looking for was / were
plus 3 verb forms ) . . . much too slow.
I wonder why I have always had to learn things the hard way?
Certainly, if I am going to analyse the million words of the Freiburg
English Dialect Corpus,
I am going to have to get things moving along somewhat.
Wikipedia lists 5048 intransitive verbs; IFF I can get them into a
listField (!!!!!!!), things will get very slow indeed if the list is not
loaded into a variable.
My production machine has 6 GB RAM, so, with any luck, with both the
corpus and the verb list in variables (i.e. directly in RAM),
I won't have to go away and plant potatoes for a week while it does the
crunching.
Richmond.
