Not sure I understand the real problem - or why array could help - but
one observation ...

"listen-links" of stack
"/Users/Brahmanathaswami/Documents/App-Development/SivaSivaAppWorking/_SivaSource/source/modules/listen/listen.livecode"
in this specific use case.. we the sub-info-param the behavior needs to act is
"listen-music"
I'm curious if anyone has written a generic parser for turning the long ID or long Name of the
target into an array? I suppose some hacky trick like turning the word "of" into
"|" or tab and then splitting the string.. but I can't figure out how to split
image "someQuotedObjectName
otherwise resort to old parsers like
word 2 of the long name of the owner of the target…
but this too is iffy because we can't assume that every name is a word.. the
quoted string could have spaces…
This isn't iffy. A quoted string is a single word - even if it contains
spaces. Note that the word *does* contain the enclosing quotes, so you
might want
char 2 to -2 of word 2 of the long anme of the owner of the target
