Apple

Thank-you Shane and Michelle. I its really simple, now that I see it, but I don't have very good applescript skills nor do I have an intuitive mind so I never understood how to coerce something to something else. But maybe I have a better idea now.

I'm GUI scripting with multiple conditionals so I'll probably get stumped again.

Thanks again!

You try to coerce it to a number:

try
(word -1 of _selection) as number
say "contains a number" using "Bruce"
on error
say "contains no numbers" using "Victoria"
end

How can I make this work?:

set _selection to "I am 12"

if word 1 of _selection is "I" then
try
word 3 of _selection as number
say "contains a number" using "Bruce"
on error
say "contains no numbers" using "Victoria"
end try
end if
