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
