You don't have to write your own, but instead you would have to use stuff written by others.

Such as, the Satimage osax, which provides the "statlist" command, which returns the min and the max (and more) of a list.

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.
