applescript - Apple Script : Cleaning textedit text -


i want clear text textedit text half working me

tell application "textedit"      set documenttext text of document 1     set {oldtid, text item delimiters} {my text item delimiters, "administration"}     set textbits text items of documenttext     set text item delimiters ""     set text of document 1 textbits text     set text item delimiters oldtid      set documenttext text of document 1     set {oldtid, text item delimiters} {my text item delimiters, "new search"}     set textbits text items of documenttext     set text item delimiters ""     set text of document 1 textbits text     set text item delimiters oldtid      set documenttext text of document 1     set {oldtid, text item delimiters} {my text item delimiters, "advanced"}     set textbits text items of documenttext     set text item delimiters ""     set text of document 1 textbits text     set text item delimiters oldtid       set documenttext text of document 1     set {oldtid, text item delimiters} {my text item delimiters, "tips"}     set textbits text items of documenttext     set text item delimiters ""     set text of document 1 textbits text     set text item delimiters oldtid  end tell 

for reason "new search" still on text document. possible otherwise keep text line 2 3 example?

kind regards.

multiple text item delimiter calls can tricky applescript. try this:

tell application "textedit" set documenttext text of document 1  tell application "textedit" set text of document 1 removethis(documenttext, {"administration", "new search", "advanced", "tips"})  removethis(txt, termlist)     repeat eachterm in termlist         set {oldtid, applescript's text item delimiters} {applescript's text item delimiters, (eachterm text)}         set textbits text items of txt         set applescript's text item delimiters oldtid         set txt (textbits text)     end repeat     return txt end removethis 

in way, can define list of terms sifted through, , not worry coding details.
