How can I get list_4 to be {file1,file2,file3} in the below example?
(I know I can just use set list_4 to list_3 or copy list_3 to list_4 but that doesn't work if I just want to extract parts of list_3 for example)
tell application "Finder"
set list_1 to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
set list_2 to {}
repeat with nn in list_1
set list_2 to list_2 & nn
end repeat
--> list_2 = {1,2,3,4,5} -- Yes!
set list_3 to files of folder someolder
--> list_3 = {file 1,file 2, file 3}
set list_4 to {}
repeat with nn in list_3
set list_4 to list_4 & {nn}
end repeat
--> list_4 = {item 1 of {file 1,file 2, file 3}, item 2 of {file 1,file 2, file 3}, item 3 of {file 1,file 2, file 3}} -- NO!
-- This works but it's ugly
set list_4 to {}
repeat with nn from 1 to (count of list_3)
set list_4 to list_4 & {item nn of list_3}
end repeat
--> list_4 = {file 1,file 2, file 3}
end tell
