repeat with i from 2 to (z)

why starting with 2?

copy {""} to end of jobNumRange

what is this for?

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

set list i of jobNumRange to matchResult of firstPull

what is 'list i' ? Do you mean 'item i' ?

if yes (and if you use 'item i') this sets the content of item i as a string --> "match result"

on error

set item i of jobNumRange to {""}

this sets the contents of item i to a list


end try end repeat

copy the value of range ("I1:I" & z) to jobNumRange

This i understand at all. In the loop you build the jobnumrange variable as a result list and here you overwrites the found results?


No matter what, it doesn't work in EXCEL--give it a shot!

The problem seems to be that I can't get the new populated list to be
copied into an Excel column.  This could be because the list is NOT a
list of lists, but a list of strings and lists...  Not sure how to get
the regular expressions to be returned as lists.

Also, it seems to add lists in between the results, like so:

"D1198", {""}, "D1243", {""}, "D1251", {""}, "D1285", {""}, "D1352",
{""}, {""}, {""}

No wonder, see above. You mix setting the result list's items as string or as list.
