Hello Gvtz,
Using the 'words of' term you are counting on AppleScript's arbitrary
(as it may appear) method of splitting strings, omitting punctuation,
etc.
You should instead use delimiters that you set yourself:
set text item delimiters to "/"
text items of "400/500 1000"
--> {"400", "500 1000"}
or
set text item delimiters to " "
text items of "400/500 1000"
--> {"400/500", "1000"}
At the end, make sure to reset:
set text item delimiters to ""
and, when working inside application tell blocks, use this line:
set applescript's text item delimiters to " "
