How about something like:

Assuming the list of names is in field 1 and the  line numbers are to 
go into field 1 then:

on mouseUp
   put getLines("John",field 1)into field 2
end mouseUp

function getLines tName, tNames
   repeat with i = 1 to the number of lines in tNames
     if tName is in line i of tNames then put i & return after results
   end repeat
   return results
end getLines
