If your source is a file, you'll have to have your script read the file and
create the arrays itself (unless the file's content is already structured in
arrays of course). If you're not reading a file directly, but through a
(spredsheet or whatever) program, the possibilities are dictated by that
program. Read its AS dictionary (I know, not always as easy as it should be)
to find out what it has to offer.

If you like books, Matt Neuburg's "AppleScript The Definitive Guide" is
probably the most complete and up to date AS resource at this moment. ISBN:
0596005571. Apple offers information too:
<http://www.apple.com/applescript/>. Apple's AppleScript Language Guide,
although in some areas way outdated, is still the best source to get to know
the language as such IMO.
