'selection' always is a list in the Finder - no need to coerce it, and
'repeat' for an empty list does not error nor waste any time, so the 'if'
clause is not necessary. This can therefore be pared down to



tell application "Finder" repeat with eachItem in (get the selection) set the label index of eachItem to 5 end repeat end tell

Did you actually try your code?

tell application "Finder"
    the selection

--> {folder "Applications" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "Developer" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "Library" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "System" of startup disk of application "Finder"}

    count the selection

--> 0

    class of the selection

--> property

    count (the selection as list)

--> 4

end tell
Hello Michelle

It seems that you didn't read well the Paul's script. He didn't wrote:
repeat with eachItem in (the selection)

BUT:
repeat with eachItem in (get the selection)

May you, try:

tell application "Finder"
	count (get the selection)
end tell
