I'm having trouble with the syntax of a "whose" filter.
What am I doing wrong??
And what does the error message mean??
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you in advance !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The script segment is below:
set redoList to "OL"
set FileList to {} as list
--doThese, doThose can each be true or false, independently
if doThese then
set FileList to FileList & {"Chs.", "OLs."} as list
end if
if doThose then
set FileList to FileList & {"Ch.", "OL."} as list
end if
set redoListTest to character 1 in redoList
set reducedFileList to (every item in FileList whose first character
does not contain redoListTest) as list
--results in an error here
--> Can't get {"Chs.", "OLs.", "Ch.", "OL."} whose not 32.
