This update introduces an expansion of FastScripts’s own built-in scripting additions, with three powerful new commands for searching, replacing, and splitting text with regular expressions.

What a fantastic addition to a tool I use every day.

I still spend more time than you might imagine writing AppleScript. For dealing with text manipulation, I’ve both called out to Perl or done the ‘native’ text delimiters dance and neither does the job optimally.

Though I can’t rely on this for scripts I write for others necessarily, for anything that’s just for me, I look forward to using these the next time I have the itch.
