Here's a version of your script that works. I had to guess what you might
have in 'descriptionRange', since you didn't show that (you should, it would
help.)



set descriptionRange to {"a1234", "b5678", "c9012", "d3456"} set jobNumRange to {}

repeat with i from 1 to (count descriptionRange)

    try
        set firstPull to find text "^[a-z][0-9]{4}" in item i of
descriptionRange with regexp

or
set firstPull to find text "^[a-z][0-9]{4}" in item i of descriptionRange with regexp and string result





        -- PROBLEM:  set item i of jobNumRange to firstPull
        -- That's not how you add to a list.
        -- Use:
        copy matchResult of firstPull to end of jobNumRange

and

copy firstpull to end of jobNumRange -- assumed you use the 'with string result option of the command

or
set item i of jobNumRange to firstpull -- assumed that (count descriptionRange)=(count jobNumRange) what's here probably is the case because the OP wrote


this just populates the target list with
"empty"

This is only possible if there is a non-empty list at beginning of the repeat loop.
