I always seem to get messed up when working with groups. I have a group with groups in it and subgroups in those groups like this:
MainGroup Index1 SubGroup1 SubGroup2 Index2 SubGroup1 SubGroup2 Index3 SubGroup1 SubGroup2 Index4 SubGroup1 SubGroup2 Index5 SubGroup1 SubGroup2 I am trying to get the number of groups in group "MainGroup" but I am getting all sub groups as well. put the number of groups of group "MainGroup" into tGroups gives me 15 groups instead of 5 like I would like. What I would like to do is delete group "Index3" and then rename the the rest so that they are in order again. I was planning on using a repeat loop on the number of groups: repeat with x = 1 to the number of groups of group "MainGroup" set the name of group x of group "MainGroup" to ("Index" & x) end repeat Then when I want to add a group I can just clone the first group and rename it. I would like to name it 1 + the number of groups like: clone group "Index1" of group "MainGroup" set the name of it to ("Index" & (the number of groups of group "MainGroup" + 1)) The problem is that because some of the groups have groups in them I am not getting the right number back from using "the number of".
