repeat for each....

[FlexibleLearning at aol.com]

on tryLoopFor
  put "a,b,c,d,e,f" into charList
  repeat for each item n in charList
   put item n of charList into line n of newCharList ** put n of charList 
into...
  end repeat
  put newCharList &&"for"
end tryLoopFor

The variable n contains the item value, not the number of the item... Ech 
time the routine cycles, n takes on the value of the next item in charList.

But you have a wee problem using 'for each' in your example above given thant 
n is not a number so you cannot use it to refer to a line of newCharList. 
Either try including an incrementor, or stick to your original 'repeat with n=1 
to ...' system.
