I'm trying to understand what is happening here:
set theString to (call method "getThing")
log (class of theString as string) -- "Unicode text"
repeat with theChar in theString
-- do things with each character
end repeat
The "repeat with" loops once for each character of theString, and
that's what I want to happen. But, since theString is not a list,
can somebody explain why the loop variable is fed each character
rather than the entire string?
