I'm trying to trim returns. I'm not having much luck accomplishing this simple task. Must be one of those days.

Anyway, I know there is no trim function in transcript and I've read the documents and came up with the following code.

Code: Select all

    put the text of me into RText
    answer RText
    repeat for each line theLine in RText
        return char 1 to -2 of theLine afer NewRText
    end repeat
    answer "New Text" & NewRText

It compiles, but does not work. I can't even tell if it is doing anything, as it doesn't give me the final answer.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

replace cr with space in myText

or

replace numToChar(13) with empty in myText

et cetera
