My script below I creat a list of:
10 6
80 7
130 23
140 2
150 22
and the script produces:
10 6
20 0
70 0
80 7
90 0
120 0
130 23
140 2
150 0
160 22
Throw this into a button and see if it works for you:
on mouseUp
--create a list to start with
put 10 & tab & 6 & cr & \
80 & tab & 7 & cr & \
130 & tab & 23 & cr & \
140 & tab & 2 & cr & \
160 & tab & 22 into tStore
--actual work done here
set the itemDelimiter to tab
put "first" into tLastItem
repeat for each line tLine in tStore
put item 1 of tLine into tCheck
switch
case (tLastItem = "first")
--don't do anything
break
case (tCheck - tLastItem > 20)
put tLastItem + 10 & tab & 0 & cr after tStore2
put tCheck - 10 & tab & 0 & cr after tStore2
break
case (tCheck - tLastItem > 10)
put tCheck - 10 & tab & 0 & cr after tStore2
break
end switch
put tLine & cr after tStore2
put tCheck into tLastItem
end repeat
put tStore2 into msg
end mouseUp
