Hello Heather,
Mark's use of filter answered your question nicely.
This chunking method illustrates another, less elegant, way of doing
what your pseudo-code below describes.
put field "theField" into tText
replace "<" with (CR&"<") in tText
replace ">" with (">"&CR) in tText
-- build a new list without the "<" or ">" lines
repeat for each line tLine in tText
if ("<" is not in tLine) AND (">" is not in tLine) then
put tLine &CR after tNewText
end if
end repeat
put tNewText

Okay, can someone please tell me if this (or something remotely like
it)
would be possible (if script was written correctly, which I can't
for the
life of me work out how):
put url "somewebpage" into field "theField"
put return before all the "<"
put return after all the ">"
replace lines containing "<" and ">" with empty
HAHA, I know it's not anywhere near the solution to extracting text
from
HTML (Eric's function does a wayyy better job of that), but I'd LOVE
to know
how to actually write the script if not anything else, because it's
driven
me crazy for about two hours now! Grrr
If it does something wonderful that would be great too :P
Thanks so much :)
Heather
