[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Munger XCMD

dcc@ccvr1.uucp (Daniel Carr) (08/26/89)

has anyone written a munger-type XCMD?  i've seen a very nice find and
replace xcmd, but i need one that accepts parameters and doesn't pop up
a window like a word processor.

thanks for any help

What exactly does "munger" do?

I have two XFCNs that I have written that you might find useful.
Both are parameter-driven, not dialog-driven.

1.	I have implemented 'grep', ala Unix.  Grep searches for
	regular expressions in text, and returns any line that
	contains the expression.

2.	I've also written a replace XFCN, but at the moment it
	only searches for string litterals.  I'm going to modify
	it to replace regular expressions soon.

If interested, I'll put these up for anonymous ftp on ssyx.

You're welcome.
