At 00:16 -0500 05/16/2004, Joseph Weaks wrought:

"Better" is somewhat subjective, but how 'bout this:

set variable to "zzz"
set a to {{2.54, 1, "z", 3}, {variable, "b", "c"}, {5, "text", variable}}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "%"
set a to text items of (a as string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
______________________________________________________________________

That works nicely if maintenance of class isn't important

--> {"2.54", "1", "z", "3", "zzz", "b", "c", "5", "text", "zzz"}

All items are coerced to text.
