Setting List Variable with contents from a Field member

[Crspy63]

I have retrieved data from an external text file using FILEIO extra and placed it in a cast member of field type.
This part works fine. I now need to put the data from the field into a global variable of list type so that I can call items from the list in different scripts.
The scripts are simple "goto" scripts and the list items are strings that are used as markers (I have tested this portion using hand written list variable and it works fine also).
I just need to get the field data into a list variable. I have tried a ton of different conventions and read every book I own, to no avail....Any help would be much appreciated.

super easy to do

x = value(member(x).text), or something like that, the value command is the important one.

Was beatin' all around that but missed the "value" part...works great now, thanks!

Depends how your storing the data in the text file.
Are you writing a list to a text file, or something else.

The data in the text file was coming from a frontend vb program so it could be any form I wanted. It is provided in the form of a Director list.

HOrrid is right on the mark.
Value is how u gonna have to do it.
