Text Output as Separate Lines

Question

I have this code:
tell application "iTunes"
set playlistList to name of user playlists
end tell

Answer 1

You can also use AppleScript's text item delimiters. You didn't mention what you were going to do with the information, so I included a choose from list dialog, which will also show the items:
<pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #E0E0E0; overflow: auto">tell application "iTunes"
set MyList to (name of user playlists) -- get a list
-- convert the list to a string using a return character to delimit each item
set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, return}
set MyString to MyList as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TempTID
-- show both results:
choose from list MyList with title "List" with prompt "" with empty selection allowed
display dialog MyString with title "String"
end tell
</pre>
