Middle Element 5
The Middle Element reference form specifies the middle object of a particular
class in a container.
SYNTAX
middle className
where
className is the class identifier for the specified object.
EXAMPLES
middle word of paragraph 1
middle item of {1, "doughnut", 33}
NOTES
AppleScript calculates the middle object with the expression ((n + 1) div
2), where n is the number of objects and div is the integer division operator. If
there is an even number of objects in the container, the result is rounded down.
For example, the middle word of a paragraph containing twenty words is the
tenth word.
