Read the file without using delimiters to get the original text as
written, with the returns.
When you make a string into a list as you did, all you do is make it
into a single-item list. You need to use text item delimiters; in
this specific case, that is a return.
set theIntermediateOutput to "/Users/kevin/Desktop/amsn received
files/avg.xls
/Users/kevin/Desktop/avg.xls"
set text item delimiters to "
"
set theFinalOutput to text items of theIntermediateOutput
set text item delimiters to ""
theFinalOutput
--> {"/Users/kevin/Desktop/amsn received files/avg.xls", "/Users/
kevin/Desktop/avg.xls"}
