Subject: TIDs Inquiry
From: David <email@hidden>

When reading a text file from an AppleScript within Script Editor that
is a list of items return delimited such as a series files to back-up
or mail boxes for mail to execute a script on; I consistently run into
a problem where the AppleScript Text Items command does not seem to
work as expected.

A text file that is read in with the below code seems not to work with
the TIDs as expected while a string pasted into an AppleScript variable
manually seems to work as expected.

My first guess would be that the text file is not delimited by the character to which you've set AppleScript's text item delimiters (from your example it's probably the return). To check that out, turn your text into a list of the ASCII numbers of the characters.
