What is the syntax for "some", as in...

tell application "iTunes"
tell playlist "ClodiFon"
name of some track whose (database ID) is dbid

I couldn't find it in my copy of The AppleScript Language Guide (1996 edition).


Some will return a random item from an appleScript list.

tell application "iTunes"
tell playlist "ClodiFon"
set allMyTracks to name of every track whose (database ID) is dbid
set thisTrack to some item of allMyTracks
end tell
end tell


But, that doesn't make much sense, since database ids are unique. You may want:

set thisTrack to name of track 1 whose (database ID) is dbid

or

   set allMyTracks to  name of every track
   set thisTrack to some item of allMyTracks

I couldn't find it in my copy of The AppleScript Language Guide (1996 edition).



There is a 2008 edition now available.

Be sure to look for the some item command in the section on lists, I think that where it is.

HTH,
