If you want to check for any of the items (a boolean OR) try this... set anyHit to false repeat with each in ab if each is in alpha then set anyHit to true exit repeat end end I write this as follows…
set allHit to true
repeat with each in ab
if each is not in alpha then
set allHit to false
exit repeat
end
end
