returning result from a function when the number of items in the result varies

[Stephen Barncard]

The results in examples 1 and 2 were incorrect.

put myArray [1] & return into toadMeatList
put myArray [2] & return after toadMeatList
put myArray [5]  after toadMeatList

RESULTS-->
Jefferson
Washington
Elvis

or in a "regular" loop

put "1,2,5" into orderList
repeat with n = 1 to numLines
   put myArray[n] & return after toadMeatList
end repeat

RESULTS-->
Jefferson
Washington
Elvis
