It sounds like you're trying to get an item of the text file, not the
list variable into which the text file has been read. You are reading
it into a variable, aren't you? If not, what's read exists only as an
ephemeral "result" that vanishes with the next command that is executed.
set myList to (read myVar as list)
get some item of myList
