Hi Jim,
looks like you missed my second post, I already found the solution to
my problem.
Difficulty one is that '[' is a special character in regular
expressions and
escaping can make using them even more confusing. This is also true
of the
filter command.
Anyway, thanks for you post, will take a deeper look in a quiet
moment ;-)
--this function seems to work
--the catch is that the "[" and "]" are special chars
--recall the merge("") function
function getList dertext, derdelimiter, derdelimiter2
put "<<,>>,{,},[,],{{,}},[[,]]" into oppositeDelm
if not(derdelimiter is among the items of oppositeDelm)
then put "::" into derdelimiter
if not(derdelimiter2 is among the items of oppositeDelm)
then put "::" into derdelimiter2
replace cr with numtochar(3) in dertext --all on one line now
if ( derdelimiter <> derdelimiter2 ) is true then
replace derdelimiter with (cr & derdelimiter) in dertext
replace derdelimiter2 with ( derdelimiter2 & cr ) in dertext
if "]" is in dertext then -- we are using brackets
replace ( derdelimiter2 & cr ) with ("^^" & cr) in dertext
filter dertext with ( "*^^" )
replace "^^" with ( derdelimiter2 ) in dertext --we are done
else
filter dertext with ( "*" & derdelimiter 2 ) --we are done
end if
else --using "::" symetrical double-delimiters
replace ":" with (":" & cr & ":") in dertext
replace "::" with empty in dertext
filter dertext with (":*:")
replace ":" with "::" in dertext --we are done
end if
return dertext
end getList
Hope this helps.
