Sorry, Steve, no award from me (not that anyone cares what I think!).

For me, your script was incomplete, missing out the crucial steps of getting and setting the clipboard. Yes, most of us can fill in the gaps, but a good script should “just work”.  :)

Also, though I know this will be controversial, personally I just hate scripts that use text item delimiters and don't set them back to their default afterwards. ;-)

In the “winning” script, I also liked the neat line of using the count to add the comma. Trick-thinking like that make me smile!

Fortunately, I’m the judge of nothing but my own irrelevance, so don’t sweat it!



Best


Phil
