I realise it is not - in your example but... If the position of the number s always at the same position in the list; You can use ListGetAt()
Otherwise you can loop through the list using the regex of the other posts to find your match. Lastly, depending on the length of the CSV, and the lists themselves, you don't need to convert to an array first. There are appropriate functions available to let you process thee data in list form. Array manipulation / searching is faster, though - so I normally convert to an Array. (The speed test also takes into account the transformation from list to array and then back again - so it shows there is significant speed gains in using Arrays.) Ultimately, it just depends on how comfortable you are with converting between lists to arrays and back again.
