Hello.

Currently I am saving a list of data to firebase. I am then later recalling this data but having a hard time to get it to display properly. I need only the data in between the quotation marks" ". Can anyone help with this? i Have shared a mock app for demonstration purposes.

I am saving lists of data to firebase like this

I very much could use help placing the blocks used to filter this info.  
can anyone help with the blocks to create a list in a variable like such:

Variable 1 = sdf, sdfasdf  
Variable 2 = Nfnf, Nfnfnfjf  
etc.

here is the original output from the firebase that i save to json

Hello,

![изображение](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/d/adb95e0a9c92d31e3b9bdc3ef13bc4a1a83e17ab.png)

To work with JSON, use Objects category blocks. To get started, I recommend that you figure out what the JSON format is and work with it without Firebase. After you learn to use blocks of the Objects category and understand how the list of objects differs from the set of objects, you can start working with Firebase.

See scrJSON in project [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5d70f93f8a62b4079eedaff2/project/properties/designer/)
