List writes lines to file fine, but is one big item in UBot.

I'm trying to parse a list of image URLs that I'm scraping from Google images. That part all works fine, I get the list, save it to a file, all looks good.

 

But then I create a $list from file and for some reason I can't figure out, it's always just one giant element, as opposed to the separate lines i see in my text file (or when I use an alert to display the contents of the list).

 

What am I doing wrong here? I even tried doing a $list from text and specifying $new line as the delimeter in case it would help, but no change.

 

So the initial contents are written to the file without any issue, then put into a list called %final_images. That list's $list total is always 1, but when I alert it directly, everything is on a separate line and looks fine.

 

Where have I messed this one up?

 

Thanks!

And once again, posting that I'm stuck, has caused me to solve the problem. I was using Add Item to List, rather than Add List to List. Working now!

You need to use $list from list rather than $list from text...

Yep... very confusingly named. Add a list to a list when I don't yet have a list? HUH?!?! LOL

 

But, it worked.

You want to input the data in the form of a list... hence $list to list.

Well... actually, as soon as you name it, it is initialized; so you have it, but it's empty...
