Thanks. This works now. I moved around a couple of things, but the
method of setting the end of a defined list to a result is great.
Thanks again.
Here's what I came up with after reading your post:
---------------------------------
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set theList to {}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "{" -- Check out lines of file
set i to text items of extContent -- for each line
repeat with foundString in i -- repeat loop, looking for searchWord
if foundString contains "ImageSaver" then
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " "
set end of theList to (text item 8 of foundString)
end if
end repeat
log theList -- Show the contents of theList
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims

I believe that this should work
set theList to {} -- your list
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "{" -- Check out lines of
file starting with open bracket
set i to text items of extContent -- for each line
repeat with foundString in i -- repeat loop
if foundString contains "ImageSaver" then -- further narrowing
selection
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " " -- break into
"words"
set gotIt to {text item 8 of foundString}
log gotIt -- Here gotit has the value I want
end if
set end of theList to gotIt -- add item to end of list
end repeat
