Well Jim,
You could have used just plain AppleScript without going through so
many hoops.
set X to {"123456", "123457", "123458"}
set Y to {{"A", "B", "C"}, {"D"}, {"E", "F"}}
-- the item I'm looking for
set Z to "123457"
if X contains Z then set theindex to getitemindex(X, Z)
---->2
on getitemindex(thelist, theitem)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
set thelist to thelist as text
return count of paragraphs in (text 1 thru (get offset of theitem
in thelist) of thelist)
end getitemindex
And what if Y's items contains strings with embedded return characters ?
