Actually "put line 1 to -1 of theList into theList" doesn't throw an error with theList = empty. I use "delete char -1 of…" mostly too, but at times I use "put line 1 to -1 of…" or "put item 1 to -1 of…" for no good reason. It's true that deleting the last char is the more general solution after a concatenating repeat loop, it works for lines, and items no matter what the itemdelimiter. -- Peter Peter M.
