How do you extract part of a record from a Property List?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

The following illustrates what I was trying to do:

property MyList : {A1:"Foo", A2:"Bar"}
choose from list {1, 2}
set myPick to "A" & result
get myPick of MyList
--> Can't get myPick of {A1:"Foo", A2:"Bar"}

The problem is that I don’t know how to (or whether I can) turn myPick (which is text) into a suitable reference for getting a piece from myList.

Record = wrong data structure for the job. e.g. See:

Thanks, hhas;

Now I remember the linked thread and your AppleMod reference. In the meantime I just used a list to get the job done.
