A file-gathering AppleScript
Authored by: loren_ryter on Oct 17, '04 02:27:53PM

It seems like everyone got this to work. But the .txt file contains several garbage characters. (like where one is supposed to have opt-return at the end of the line, and curly quotes).

Can anyone repost a fixed version or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I'm opening the link in Safari.

never mind. downloading it rather than opening it in Safari and copying that into SE worked fine. Thanks.

Alternatively, from Safari's View menu, choose Text Encoding -> Western (Mac OS Roman). The characters look fine then.
