I am preparing the list for import into a Government School Report Database (Windows) that is comma delimited.  I am receiving the list from a Government Timetable program, also Windows that is unable to export the data in a suitable format for the Report Database.  I now discover that I can't get the result that I want from AS.  Can you help?

I have been using this script to create a comma delimited list that allocates teachers to their classes for import into a database.  I am nearly there, however the resulting list has lots of quotation marks in it.  Can someone please help me clean this up?

The result:
{"
", "ADA", "SCI7B", "SCI7G", "SCF10B", "
", "AND", "IP7B", "DRA7G", "DRA7O", "IP8B", "ART8O", "ART8R", "ART9B", "COMP", "
", "BAP", "MUS7B", "MUS8B", "MUS8G", "MUS9A", "2ND", "
", "
", "BAS", "FRE7B", "FRE7G", "FRE7O", "FORM8B", "FRE8B", "HUM8G", "FRE8R", "2ND", "
", "BRE", "CAR10A", "CAR10B", "CAR10C", "
", "BRP", "MAT9G", "NUM9A", "2ND", "

What I would like:

{ADA, SCI7B, SCI7G, SCF10B, 
AND, IP7B, DRA7G, DRA7O, IP8B, ART8O, ART8R, ART9B, COMP, 
BAP, MUS7B, MUS8B, MUS8G, MUS9A, 2ND, 
BAS, FRE7B, FRE7G, FRE7O, FORM8B, FRE8B, HUM8G, FRE8R, 2ND, 
BRE, CAR10A, CAR10B, CAR10C, 
BRP, MAT9G, NUM9A, 2ND, …...

I don't understand.  You want to change those strings to variable names?
