lists and items and position of items
- Subject: lists and items and position of items

based on Apples example:
on list_position(this_item, this_list)
repeat with i from 1 to the count of this_list
if item i of this_list is this_item then return i
end repeat
return 0
end list_position
set xList to {}
set this_list to {"Sal", "Sue", "Bob", "Carl"}
repeat with x in this_list
set y to list_position(x, this_list)
copy y to end of xList
end repeat
get xList
I would have expected to get xList: 1, 2, 3, 4
but am getting 0, 0, 0, 0,
hmmm dare I ask why ?
