Hi Kerry,
The problem is that
> addProp(gWordList, #listStart, [:]
> addProp(gWordList, #aWord, masterList.line[i].item[j]
are both adding to the 'top' list, not creating an array.
Try this
the itemDelimiter = ";"
repeat for i = 1 to numLines
theText = masterText.line[i].item[1] --I know this works
if theText = "Start" then
subList = [:]
repeat with j = 2 to masterList.line[i].item.count
subList.addProp( #aWord, masterList.line[i].item[j])
end repeat
gWordList.addProp( #listStart, subList )
end if
end repeat
