is there something akin to regEx in applescript, and if not, what's the alternative?
问题 I need to parse the first 10 chars of a file name to see if they are all digits. The obvious way to do this is fileName =~ m/^\d{10}/ but I'm not seeing anything regExy in the applescript reference, so, I'm curious what other options I have to do this validation. 回答1: Don't despair, since OSX you can also access sed and grep through "do shell script". So: set thecommandstring to "echo \"" & filename & "\"|sed \"s/[0-9]\\{10\\}/*good*(&)/\"" as string set sedResult to do shell script
