Can I set text item delimiters to an ascii value?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I want the text item delimiter to be the ascii character RS, which has an octal code of 036 (hex 1E, dec 30, etc). Is there a way to set this in AppleScript?

edit: note RS is not a visible character so I can’t just paste it into the script editor

jam:

As long as you know the code of the item, it should work:

set dl to text item delimiters
set text item delimiters to ASCII character 240
property a_list : {"one", "two", "three"}
set b to a_list as string
set text item delimiters to dl
b

returns: “onetwothree”

good luck,
