I think some picks a random item.

Let's say I have a string I want
to check for any one of several substrings.
Is there a way to do something like this:
set stringToSearch to "I have a brand new
pair of rollerskates"
if stringToSearch contains any item of
{"new","rollerblade} then
-- at least one
item from the list was found
end if
I know you can iterate through the list with repeat, I was just wondering
about a concise way to do it.
set stringToSearch to "I have a brand new pair of
rollerskates"
if (stringToSearch contains some item of {"new",
"rollerblade"}) then
return some word of stringToSearch
end if
