I've searched this forum but my search terms must be too vague.

I'm copying onStyles from a Quark text string that will produce a list of at least one item but will have a variable number of elements in an list.

I want to capture them all and use them as flags, but unsure how to capture it. Right now, I've set them into their own field with a try statement, but that's proving to be unworkable for flags in calculations.

How would i set up a field to capture a list, and in AS, how would you set the field to the contents of that list?

thanx, sam

set mylist to {1,2,3,4}

set applescript's text item delimiters to return

copy mylist as text to cell "Whatever" of current record
