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
I'm not entirely clear on what you're asking for ...
given the description (remove spaces before and after quotes), I'd have
expected that
my " beautiful " laundrette
becomes
my"beautiful"laundrette
Do you actually want to
remove spaces after the "opening" quote
remove spaces before the "closing" quote
of any quoted sub-string ?
What if there are mismatched quotes ?
(Does that matter, or can you exclude the possibility ?)
It should be doable with regex - but will probably be faster without it ....
something like (the value is already in variable t)
put empty into tNew
set the itemdel to quote
put True into outside
repeat for each item w in t
if outside then
put false into outside
put w & quote after tNew
else
put true into outside
put word 1 to -1 of w & quote after tNew
end if
end repeat
put tNew after msg
if char -1 of t = quote then
delete char -1 of tNew
end if
