Parameters

listOrArray = an array or list of sublists, all of which must contain the same number of items

outError = missing value or reference

Result

An array of arrays

Sample

use scripting additions

use framework "Foundation"

use script "BridgePlus"

load framework

set theLists to {{1.1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}}

set theResult to current application's SMSForder's colsToRowsIn:theLists |error|:(missing value)

ASify from theResult

--> {{1.1, 4, 7}, {2, 5, 8}, {3, 6, 9}}

theResult as list -- 10.11 only

--> {{1.1, 4, 7}, {2, 5, 8}, {3, 6, 9}}

theResult as list -- 10.9 and 10.10

--> {{1.100000023842, 4, 7}, {2, 5, 8}, {3, 6, 9}}

set theLists to {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5}, {7, 8, 9}}

set {theResult, theError} to current application's SMSForder's colsToRowsIn:theLists |error|:(reference)

if theResult = missing value then error (theError's localizedDescription() as text)

--> error number -2700  Can't perform cols to rows when lists have differing item counts.
