I have a script which pulls the contents of a value list from FileMaker
Pro as a string.

The resulting string is in the following format:

"item1\ritem2\ritem3\ritem4"

I can't seem to get this into a form that Applescript can understand as
a list with multiple items.

All I can coax is a list with one item "item1\ritem2\ritem3\ritem4".

I am trying to get a list of 4 items.

Any suggestions?

This statement:
set fmVL to "item1\ritem2\ritem3\ritem4"


-- Compiles to:
set fmVL to "item1
item2
item3
item4"

This was also pointed out by Michelle Steiner, but in context of the question the OP posted, the script would assign the value from FMP to a variable. This would leave the slashed-r return characters in the text.
