Converted to functions with the text and delimiter as paramaters for ease
of use:
-- Add "inline line numbers" [-hh fecit, 2014]
function numberText T,D
split T by return
put "1:" && T[1] into R
repeat with K = 2 to item 2 of the extents of T
put cr & K & D & T[K] after R
end repeat
return R
end numberText
-- Remove "inline line numbers" [-hh fecit, 2014]
function unNumberText T,D
split T by return and D
put the keys of T into K
sort K numeric
repeat for each line L in K
put cr & T[L] after R
end repeat
return char 2 to -1 of R
end unNumberText
