I think it's a question of personal definition whether AppleScript's text
item delimiters has a default value....
Some would argue that there is no default because it doesn't initially
exist.
And some might say that a zero length string would be still be regarded as a
string.
Now when I first launch the Script Editor, and before I do anything else,
the result of this line...
class of AppleScript's text item delimiters
...is list (actually a 1 item list of a zero length string).
So, if I use the correct dictionary definiton of the word "default", I can
conclude that:
The default of AppleScript's text item delimiters is: {""}
Best regards,
