Julie
== true
A nicer way would be:
>> parse line1 [thru {"} copy Name to ["<" 4 digits {>"}] end (print Name)]
** Script Error: Invalid argument: < 4 digits >"
** Near: parse line1 [thru {"} copy Name to ["<" 4 digits {>"}] end (print
Name)]
but unfortunately, 'to isn't yet smart enough to understand a block of
rules.
