So I have two lists.
For the sake of example, one of them is {“1”, “2”}, and the other is {“12”, “34”}
I want to have a loop, and check if each item of the second list contains ANY item of the first list.
So:
repeat with myCount from 1 to (count items of myFirstList)
if item myCount of myFirstList contains any item of mySecondList then return true
end repeat
However, this doesn’t work. Is there a simple, easy way to do this? Both of the lists contain only strings.
I know I can do a bunch of loops and make it all complicated and slow, but I’m almost sure there must be a better way to approach this.
Thanks.

Here, it is not “contains any item of” but “is in”:
repeat with myCount from 1 to (count items of myFirstList)
if item myCount of myFirstList is in mySecondList then return true
end repeat
Alright, sorry, turns out it’s a bit more complicated, and I’m stuck again. 
I need to check a string to see if it contains any item in a list.
Once again, I feel really close to the answer, and that it should be obvious, but I keep missing.

Or you can do:
repeat with i in myFirstList
if i is in mySecondList then return true
end repeat
Alright, the second one, modified, works. Thanks!
If anyone cares:
repeat with i in myList
if myString contains i then return true
end repeat
