Yes, Carroll was a bit off but he had the basic idea... not going to nit
pick him for it. His solution was not as efficient as it could be but he
admits to not knowing AppleScript. No harm and I appreciate him focusing on
tech over trolling.

OK, he does deserve that. :)

Nor was I specific with the challenge. I added it because my script can be
slow so I wanted to make sure I would not paste before it was done. It does
add a nice touch, but not needed.

Need to set the delimiter before you use it... but that pretty much works.
Also, the AppleScript editor converts the \n to an actual new line making it
harder to read... it is more clear if you use the word return. I updated my
script to this:

--------
on run
  tell application "Safari"
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
    set theURLs to (URL of every tab of window 1)
  end tell
  set the clipboard to theURLs as text
  display notification "Copied: " & (count of theURLs) & " URLs." as text
end run
---------

I tend to use the delimiters in AppleScript less than I "should," or at the
very least my using them more would make my scripts more concise and
sometimes faster.

> Are you calling a bunch of URLs a URL object? That seems stupid.

Well, it is an object (a list) containing URLs. Nothing wrong with the name.

Nor is that the implication he is making. JavaScript is more universal than
AppleScript.
