Saving lists of records to a text file

Please forgive what I hope is an easy question. I'm just not sure how to go about this.

I've got a list of records that I get out of FileMaker Pro. It's a little slower than snot at about 20 minutes when I want to refresh that list. The question is: is there a way to save these lists of records to a file so that I can just open that again if I know the data in the FMP database hasn't changed since the list of records was last generated?

For instance in FMP I've got a couple fields and a couple records so when bringing it into AppleScript I generated a record for each FMP record and put together a list of those.

{{Field1:"Data1",Field2:"Data2"},
{Field1:"Data3",Field2:"Data4"}}

Actually it's a bit more complicated (lists within records within lists within... you get the point) so I'm at a lost to see how I could just save this to a text file and read it back in fairly easily. Any tricks I'm missing?

TIA,
Landis
