I am writing a book that has become rather large and unkempt. I am looking for an Applescript that can search for the word "Chapter" and make everything that comes before it (and in between chapter 2 and on) and make it a new file on the desktop named "Chapter (insert sequential number here)". First of all can Applescript even do this, and does one exist already? If it doesn't exist and they are easy to write I would be so grateful if you would do that! Thanks in advance.
