--> ralphs when trying to convert a >4000 item string to a >4000 item
list
AppleScript can't make a list longer than 4065 items.
This limit is constant then? As in, I'll always be safe as long as I
chunk
the string into 4064 item sections, coerce each to list individually,
then
concatenate the results.
It's constant here. But see Emanuel's post too. It is a limitation on
coercing text to lists, not on all list generation. I should have been
more precise in my choice of words.
I'm curious: is there someplace where limits like
these are set down for reference? The ASLG doesn't seem to cover this
sort
of thing (unless it's buried somewhere and I've missed it).
Thanks,

I believe that this particular limitation has been called a bug.
Chris N.?
Regardless, I don't believe that it's 'officially' documented
anywhere. There are probably references to it on the AppleScript
Sourcebook.
