How about this:
set a to {"folder:folder:", "file", "folder:", "folder:folder:file"}
set isfolders to {}
set isfiles to {}
repeat with fileorfolder in a
if fileorfolder ends with ":" then
set isfolders to isfolders & fileorfolder
else
set isfiles to isfiles & fileorfolder
end if
end repeat
It's still a loop but it wouldn't need to talk to the Finder so should be
faster. (Well... I think it should be faster!)
There's probably a way to combine "every item" and "ends with" to achieve
this but I can't seem to find it.
Mark.
