I want to analyse the quote by going through each word.

that we end with
WordLocationA["Cut"][1][100,320]
WordLocationA["Cut"][2][300,320]
WordLocationA["the"][1][200,320]
WordLocationA["the"][2][400,320]
WordLocationA["apple"][2][500,320]
WordLocationA["banana"][2][500,320]
I think this will get you close:
put fld 1 into tQuote
repeat with x = 1 to the number of truewords in tQuote
put tWordLocation into tWordLocationA[trueword x of
tQuote][x][tWordLocation]
end repeat
You could count word instances incrementally with more scripting, but
this short way gives you something similar. It stores the word position
to get this:
tWordLocationA["Cut"][1][100,320]
tWordLocationA["Cut"][4][300,320]
tWordLocationA["the"][2][200,320]
tWordLocationA["the"][5][400,320]
tWordLocationA["apple"][3][500,320]
tWordLocationA["banana"][6][500,320]
If you do want an incremental word count, check the number of elements
in each array key and add 1 to it instead of using "x" as the counter
when filling the array.
