Saving list in default entry

Scripting Forums AppleScript Studio & Xcode

Just a small short question: is it possible to save a list in a default entry? Because I’ve tried it, but I couldn’t make it work.

Thanks in advance,

PS.: I’m sorry for my English. I know I sometimes make some rubbish sentences, but I ask you to forgive me. I’m only 14 years old and I come from Belgium, so I speak dutch. If you don’t understand me, don’t hesitate to give a reply on that.

Hi,

of course, you can save text, numbers, data, lists, records, dates according the ObjC classes NSString, NSNumber, NSData, NSArray, NSDictionary, NSDate

for example

property myList : {}


on register_Preferences()
	tell user defaults
		make new default entry at end of default entries with properties {name:"myList", contents:{}}
		register
	end tell
end register_Preferences

on read_Preferences()
	try
		tell user defaults
			set myList to contents of default entry "myList"
		end tell
	end try
end read_Preferences

on save_Preferences()
	try
		tell user defaults
			set contents of default entry "myList" to myList
		end tell
		call method "synchronize" of object user defaults
	end try
end save_Preferences
