some

Syntax

tell app "Sherlock 2" to get some channel

Description

some returns a random object from a container. This might be useful if you are randomly selecting images for display from a directory. The script could state:

set ranImg to some file of folder "images" where (name ends with ".gif")

The ranImg variable would then be set to a random .gif file that is stored in the images folder. The return results are in any event far less predictable than specifying files by name or property values.
