writing and reading list vars to text file

hi there

for remembering itunes song info i work with two lists (myTags and myOptions) of strings. i store these lists in a file on disc. at the moment i write the two variables just as lists with the standard addition's file commands. this works ok.

however, the file produced this way is not human readable or even editable which. additionally if for any raeson the two lists get out of sync, the read from the file gets nothing at all.

so how can i write the lists to a pure, lets say, comma seperated text file? and how can i read them back in a robust manner?

thanks, olli
