Hi List !

This will probbably seems completely stupid to most of you
but...where are the arrays in AppleScript ?

I'm pretty sure lists are what I'm looking for but I just can't find
how to create one.

I suppose "set myArray to make new list" should work...but it
doesn't. Worse, I don't even a have clue on how to add an entry to my
array !


If someone can help, that would be great because even with Google, I couldn't find the answer (I suppose this is so obvious to everyone but me that it isn't documented).



Thanks,


Eric.



Concisely AppleScript doesn't have Arrays per se. It has lists which are implemented as linked lists. It is possible to force them to be stored as arrays(or it used to be) but there isn't much practical purpose to it.

set foo to {} --makes an empty list
set bar to every word of "This is a test"
set baz to {} & "This" &"is"&"a"&"test" --yields the same as the above.


--to add to foo
set foo to foo & 1
--{1}
set bar to 1&bar
--{1, "This" ,"is","a","test" }
item 3 of bar
-- "is"

Array is like a shark except squished all flat.
