Another way to do it. Watch for wrapped lines in email. Replace FAKETAB with tab after testing is complete.
on mouseUp set itemDel to space put fld 1 into v -- input repeat for each line x in v if space is in x then put item 1 of x into a put item 2 to -1 of x into b put a & "FAKETAB" & b & return after h else put x & return after h end if end repeat delete last char of h -- last return put h into fld 2 -- output end mouseUp --- On Wed, 5/25/11, Ken Ray <k...@sonsothunder.com> wrote: From: Ken Ray <k...@sonsothunder.com> Subject: Re: How to replace just the first found space with tab for all lines in a variable?
