Okay, is there any way to make a repeat loop count backwards like the
following snippet does not:
set loop_list to {"a", "b", "c", "d"}
repeat with i from (count of loop_list) to 1
display dialog item i
end repeat
-->does nothing. presumably because the repeat loop ends before it
starts because the start value is greater than the stop value and
"repeat with i from..." wants to increment.
Yes, but you're very close. Just add "by -1" to the end of the
"repeat" line. (And add "of loop_list" after "item i", or it's not
going to know what you're asking for an item of.) This is documented
in the AppleScript Language Guide.
