extract by delimiter

[Jim Ault]

To remove leading and trailing white space (space, tab...)

> repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in tTemp

           put word 1 to -1 of line x of tTemp into line x of tTemp
>  end repeat


>        if line x of tTemp is quote then delete line x of tTemp
[use]    filter tTemp without quote

>        if line x of tTemp is "" then delete line x of tTemp
[use]    filter tTemp without empty

> 	put url tTempURL into field "Source"
> 	put field 1 into tTemp
> 	filter tTemp with "*yweather:*"
> 	replace "<" with "" in tTemp
> 	replace "/>" with "" in tTemp
> 	replace "yweather:" with "" in tTemp
> 	replace quote&space with quote&cr in tTemp -- Did the trick
> 	repeat for 5 -- Lazy way to catch leading spaces
>       		repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in tTemp
> 			if char 1 of line x of tTemp is space then delete char 1 of line  
> x of tTemp
>          		if line x of tTemp is quote then delete line x of tTemp
>          		if line x of tTemp is "" then delete line x of tTemp
>        	end repeat
> 	end repeat
> 	if last line of tTemp is "" then delete last line of tTemp
> 	put tTemp into field "Result"
> end mouseUp
