I'm writing a script that's intended to parse out text that is
enclosed within underscores (_like this_). I'm using Tex-Edit Plus
and Smile.
I'm putting text selected in Tex-Edit Plus into a variable then
getting what I need working with the text in the variable. Once I
have it, I want to replace the string surrounded by the underscores
(and including the underscores) with the new string using this:
set words beginItal thru endItal of theText to newString
beginItal and endItal are the indexes of the underscores. theText is
the variable that the selection from the document is read into and
newString is of course, the replacement string.
Smile comes back with "Can't set words 23 thru 32 of theText (it puts
the actual string in the error message/not the variable name as shown
here) to newString (and again, it puts the new string in the error
message, not the variable name)".
I haven't been able to figure out why I can't do this. Any help would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
RJay
