Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you want but I think my code does that. For example, let's say tSender is "Apple":
set tSwitchApple to (tSender is not "Apple") --> false set tSwitchPeach to (tSender is not "Peach") --> true set tSwitchGrape to (tSender is not "Grape") --> true Looking at your code again, it's unclear as to whether your tSwitchxxx things are variables or custom properties. Using "set" makes me think they are custom properties but then you would need "of <objectreference>" or the script won't compile. If they are variables, then use "put" to put values into them. If they are variables, I'd make the switches into an array and then: repeat for each item rFruit in "Apple,Peach,Grape" put (tSender is not rFruit) into tSwitches[rFruit] end repeat And I really like Phil's "split" solution!
