Words are words, you want numbers. Try this:
set unixLine to ASCII character 10
set macLine to ASCII character 13 -- just for testing
set theText to "30.14
-0.25
-0.82
30.13
30.68
29.95
19.13
34.19" as string -- or Unicode text
set theList to {""}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to unixLine -- works
--set AppleScript's text item delimiters to macLine -- don't work
--set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return -- don't work
set theList to text items of theText
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
theList
--> {"30.14", "-0.25", "-0.82", "30.13", "30.68", "29.95", "19.13",
"34.19"}

Persons of the applescript list,
I'm new to this applescript business. Could anyone explain this to me?

29.95
19.13

log every word of theText
-- (*30.14, 30.13, 30.68, 29.95, 19.13, 34.19*)
set theText to "30.14

34.19" as string

Obviously, I like the second version better, but those minus signs are
kinda important. What should I do to get a list of all the numbers?
Please help!
Thanks
Richard
