Hi Bob - if I understand what you're trying to do, then wouldn't it
be easier to use two newlines as your text item delimiters?
set myTestData to "hello
there
these
are
my
fields
separated by double newlines"
set myDelim to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "\n\n"
set myItems to text items of myTestData
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to myDelim
myItems

Hi,
I have a script that uses a <return> for delimiting. I use a repeat
loop to extract data with two <return>s to separate blocks.
The problem I'm having is how to reinsert the <return>s between
lines of recovered data within the block. In the example below the
return is ignored.
set TheDescription to ""
repeat with i from 3 to {iCount}
set x to (myList's text item i)
if x = "" then exit repeat
if TheDescription = "" then
set TheDescription to x
else
set TheDescription to TheDescription & ". " & (return) & x
end if
end repeat
if TheDescription ‚ "" then set TheDescription to
TheDescription & "."
Tia,
