How about this:
Repeat -- any sort of repeat loop
if <condition for next repeat> then
else
--do something
end repeat
Example: If you want to do something only with words that end with "ing"
set WordsToBeEvaluated to {"sit", "sitting", "run", "running", "run",
"jumping", "jump", "walking", "bark"}
repeat with thisWord in WordsToBeEvaluated
if not (text -3 through end of thisWord is "ing") then
else
display dialog thisWord -or whatever is needed
end if
end repeat
--Michelle
