I'm new. To programming AppleScript Studio that is. My main programming knowledge is all BASIC. QuickBASIC more specifically as well as some VisualBasic and a bit of PHP and JS.

I'm working on an app in AppleScript Studio (Takes too long to type.. can I call it ASS?) but even Google isn't helping much with some of the harder stuff..

My first question is how do I populate a Table View? (Also known as NSTableView.)

Say I have a text file whose contents might be something like this: (But not at all. This is just an example)

Item one!
Item two!
Item three!

I load the contents into a variable, I call it "theContents" for example. So now I have a string called "theContents" that contains everything in that text file. Good. Now... how do I move all that into a Table View?

For example, I want a table view (Which is just a multi-column list) to contain say three items consisting of each of the lines from the above text file. I am explaining this much harder than I should. I'm sure someone understands what I want to do. Take the multi-line string I just retrieved and place each line into the table one by one so I end up with a table (list) populated with the items in the file.

I have more questions, but this is my first.
