among not working the way it should with numbers

[Da_Elf]

trying this where tileTypeNumber is 2

Code: Select all

if tileTypeNumber is among the words of "1 2 3 4 5 6" then
   put "VideoAloneTemplate" into templateMaster
end if

but it refuses to find 2 in that list. the numbers are separated by spaces so they should be recognised as words shouldn't they?
i tried setting itemDelimiter to comma then setting the list to "1,2,3,4,5,6" and used "among the items of" but it still didnt work

Hi.

Something hidden is fouling up the works? Because that code surely works if the "2" is surrounded by spaces:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put 2 into tileTypeNumber
   if tileTypeNumber is among the words of "1 2 3 4 5 6" then answer "Yep!"
end mouseUp

The code fragment ..." if tileTypeNumber is among the words of "1 2 3 4 5 6" then..." is direct from your post.

you were right. there was something messing it up. thats. it gave me the right idea to look at the creation of the 2 rather than looking at the use of "among"
