Economy-x-Talk - Sample Scripts
Convert Garbage2Text
Sometimes, when I copy text from a PDF file, the text looks like Chinese to me --I don't understand Chinese. Once in a while, this script is able to convert this text back to readable text. If it works, the result is a file with just a few mistakes. If it doesn't work, the result is a set of hieroglyphs --which I don't understand either.
on convert
answer file "Choose a text file..." of type "TEXT"
put it into theFile
open file theFile
read from file theFile until EOF
put it into data
close file theFile
repeat with x=1 to number of chars of data
put numToChar(charToNum(char x of data) - 3) into char x of data
if charToNum(char x of data) is 29 then put space into char x of data
end repeat
put ".conv" after theFile
open file theFile
write data to file theFile
close file theFile
end convert
