When to use text VS text item


  • Subject: When to use text VS text item

I have both seen examples and tried constructions like the following.

text 10 thru text -2

text 10 thru text item -2

While trying to explore the differences between these two statements, I came across a lengthy discussion in the archives concerning the differences. The discussion starts here:

http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2002/Feb/msg01162.html

I am wondering, given that AppleScript has changed a lot since then, if the arguments presented remain valid today in AppleScript 2? Reading posts to this list from the last few months suggests this may no longer be true. Almost everyone uses the former while no one seems to use the latter.

Is this difference any longer important?

Thanks
Joe
