before

• preposition, keyword

• comes before, does not come before

• put ... before ...

  • The put before command prepends a value as text before the existing value of any container:

   put "ball" into foo
  put "base" before foo
  put foo —> baseball
  • Note that this command always treats the container as text, and prepends a text value. If either of the values is not text (such as a number, a list, or a property list), it will be converted to text before the values are concatenated.
