Thank you very much. I even looked at the list command, but it says in the handbook:
"The list command makes it easy to manage data values that contain CSV lists. To create a buddies list for example, create a field called list_buddies. If you enter a CSV list, the list function will first clean out any unnecessary spaces, and second assign that new value to a buddies field which can then be saved. Second it allows you to modify a data field by adding a CSV list of items like +Bob,-Joe which will be appended/deleted from the current value. The command will look on the current target page to obtain the current content of the field." I understood it was for manipulating, eg, .txt files in CSV format. Well, I'll try experimenting with the form you gave me.
