Thanks Kai,

I think what I was poking at is that there appears to be but one item. Now I see that that does appear to be the case, but what you call it depends on where you are coming from, the safest being some form of "text item delimiters of AppleScript" (for maximum effect).

Yea, and your [2] was done without any text item delimiters of AppleScript! (I just had to try it.)

tell {"More than one way to skin a cat", {}}
repeat with i in first item's {text -3 thru -1, word 8, text 29 thru 31, word -1, text from word -1 to -1, last word, text from last word to end, last item of words, text end thru -3}
set end of second item to i's contents
end repeat
last item
end tell


--> {"cat", "cat", "cat", "cat", "cat", "cat", "cat", "cat", "cat"}
