I am fairly new to AppleScript (but have been programming in other
languages
for a long time).
I want to sort a list of 1000+ contact records (about 6 fields in each
record). I would probably do this with an array in another language. I
think
AS uses "lists". When I google "applescript lists" (etc) it get a lot of
hits, but not really ones related to my real questions.
1. Is a list the best/correct way to do this?
2. What would the sample syntax be for populating this list (Sort fields:
"last name", name, phone1, phone2, email)?
3. What is the syntax to refer to field1 (last name) after passing the
list
to the sort?
4. Memory wise, would a older Mac with 512MB RAM have a problem with a
list
of this size?
Thanks for your help
