I have a bit of code that says in part: if the selectedObjects is not empty then repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines of the selectedObjects …This results in an error “source is not a container”. OTOH, if I change the second line to repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines of (the selectedObjects0 the code works as expected.
The selectedObjects is a function that returns a text list. It isn't a container. Adding parentheses forces the engine to evaluate the function and use its return value, which does have lines in it.
