AppleScript separating one text file into many at Paragraph break
I have a textfile that is seperates each section of text by two returns. How could I write an Applescript to make each of these paragraphs into a seperate document? The text I am starting with is:
"The text does not state explicitly that the festival in question is the fall vintage feast, but as all commentators recognize, its vineyard setting undoubtedly indicates such." Oesterley, 142 {Ackerman, 1998, #1950@277n3}
Despite her patently absurd explanation for the parallels between the Benjamites and the Ephraimites (one that doesn't take social status into account!), she does do a good job of saying that the location of Shiloh, would have always been known. Or perhaps not. It could have possibly been written in a day before the prominence of Shiloh (or the ark which then retroactively made Shiloh famous). {Ackerman, 1998, #1950@255}
Reasons to see 1 Sam as a Pilgrimage feast (or connected with the grape harvest), miyyāmîm yāmîmâ (found only in Judges 21:19; 1 Sam 1:3; 2:19 and only elsewhere in Exod 13:10 and Judge 11:40). Hanna and Elqana "go up" (a term she associates with pilgrimages). Large amounts of food (not exactly mentioned in the Judges text). {Ackerman, 1998, #1950@258}
"The Shiloh festival described in 1 Sam 1:1-2:10, moreover, seems to involve the same copious amounts of eating and drinking that are elsewhere, in Judge 9:27, for example, associated with the fall vintage celebration. As I stressed in chapter 2, the priest Eli's query to Hannah as he watchers her pray—asks if she were drunk—especially indicates this, for Eli naturally assumes that Hannah, as a celebrant at the feast of the new wine, would have been drinking liberally." {Ackerman, 1998, #1950@258}
(etc).
