TID's in Snow Leopard

  • Subject: TID's in Snow Leopard

Here is a small snippet of code I've been using for years without error in 10.4 and 10.5 ...

set x to ""
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {tab}
set y to (text item 1 of x)

If x = "", then y = "" without error. But, in 10.6 the last line returns the error message

Can't get text item 1 of "".

It took me more than an hour to find this one line of code.
