Hi Ben. I may not have explained very well. I'm not needing a total line count for the whole file. What I meed to do is to know what print page, what braille page, and what line number a given mistake I find is located on if it were brailled on a braille printer. That way, I don't have to count the things. I don't know if you're a braille reader, so forgive me if I say something that you already know.
When a transcriber produces a brf file bewh stands stands for braille ready file), the file is done like a print to file only it's a braille to file. If i don't have a program, then I have to roll the braille up until the print page number is on the display and then start counting the lines. That's why I don't need a line count for the entire file because the line numbers start over when a page break is encountered. Having said all that, does that still mean that Apple Script is what's needed? Regards, Gigi On Oct 12, 2011, at 11:39 AM, Ben Mustill-Rose wrote: > No way.
