Applescript:修剪空间和返回线

标签: random applescript text-files

我写了一个AppleScript,它从逗号描述的文本文件中返回一个随机字符串:

set some_file to "Macintosh HD:Users:Zade:Library:Application Support:Notational Data:Words.txt" as alias
set the_text to read some_file as string
set the text item delimiters of AppleScript to ", "
set the_lines to (every text item of the_text)
return some item of the_lines

但我现在有一个用新行而不是逗号描述的文本文件。每行从0-20个空格开始。我想只返回随机行的文本部分。我该怎么做?

此外,如果文本部分被普通(非卷曲)引号包围,我该如何修剪引号?

以下脚本将处理注释中的其他要求,并包含用于从字符串的开头和结尾修剪字符的语句。它排除了从文件中读取的前27行,并将重复从列表中获取和修剪随机行,直到最终结果不为空。

set theFile to (choose file)
set theLines to paragraphs 28 thru -1 of (read theFile)

repeat -- forever

    set someLine to some item of theLines

    -- trim characters at the start
    if someLine is not "" then repeat until the first character of someLine is not in {space, tab, quote}
        if (count someLine) is 1 then
            set someLine to ""
            exit repeat
        end if
        set someLine to text 2 thru -1 of someLine
    end repeat

    -- trim characters at the end
    if someLine is not "" then repeat until the last character of someLine is not in {quote}
        if (count someLine) is 1 then
            set someLine to ""
            exit repeat
        end if
        set someLine to text 1 thru -2 of someLine
    end repeat

    if someLine is not "" then exit repeat
end repeat

return someLine

将第set the text item delimiters of AppleScript to ", "行中的逗号和空格更改为return。新行(没有双关语)看起来像这样:

set the text item delimiters of AppleScript to return

关于你的第二个问题,试试这个:

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return text items 2 thru -2 of some_string

让我们把它们放在一起!

set some_file to "Macintosh HD:Users:Zade:Library:Application Support:Notational Data:Words.txt" as alias
set the_text to read some_file as string
set the_lines to (every paragraph of the_text)
set this_line to some item of the_lines
if this_line is not "" then
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
    set this_line to (text items 2 thru -2 of this_line) --remove the quotes
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to space
    set these_items to (every text item of this_code)
    set the this_line to (item 1 of these_items & this_line)
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
    return this_line
end if

编辑:你无法阻止程序返回空行,但你可以像这样过滤它们......

if paragraph i of some_text is not "" then do_something()

这是我用来修剪字符串两端的空格

 on trimWhiteSpace(aString)
    if aString is not "" then
        -- setup for no delimiter
        set savedTextItemDelimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
        -- start with the tail end by revering the list
        set these_items to reverse of (every text item of aString)
        -- keep peeling off 1st space
        repeat while item 1 of these_items is space
            set these_items to rest of these_items
        end repeat
        -- flip the list, now do the leading characters
        set these_items to reverse of these_items
        repeat while item 1 of these_items is space
            set these_items to rest of these_items
        end repeat
        -- reconstruct the string
        set these_items to these_items as string
        -- restore and return
        set AppleScript's text item delimiters to savedTextItemDelimiters
        return these_items
    end if
end trimWhiteSpace
