Asking a Saturday at daylight time in Europa is not the better thing  
unless you are in a hurry :-)
Difficult to understand your purpose but I assume the 'do' command  
should help you.
I'm going to tell you an example: may be, it will get you some idea:

repeat with i = 1 to x
   do "put line i of fld" && quote & "MyField" & quote && "into  
tempVar" & i
  -- then every line of your field is now in a local variable
   <doSomeStuffWithThisTempVar>
end repeat

Such a method is used for instance to retrieve all scripts of a stack  
into vars when you don't know in advance how many cards, objects,  
etc. the stack may contain.
