Awesome.  Thanks man.  Sucks that we have to write our own, but hey, it is what it is.

I've been looking around and can't seem to find a way to return the maximum and minimal values in a list.

Is this something supported by Applescript or something I'll have to write myself?

There isn't such a function in AppleScript.


set list_of_values to {10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 2000, 9, 3000, 4}

set minimum to 9.9999999999E+12
set maximum to 0
repeat with ref_to_value in list_of_values
set the_value to contents of ref_to_value
if the_value > maximum then set maximum to the_value
if the_value < minimum then set minimum to the_value
end repeat

{minimum, maximum}

may do the trick.
