I have a php file from which I get the following response: “name // number” I have tried with the two options that I show in the images, but in both cases the text in label44 changes to “name, number”, instead of just showing “name”. can I store a list in variables? ![bloques2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/4/f4634cf046508c9e47894d6f9dbd052b54b461d8.png) ![bloques](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/c/bc55bc0eea543afb6f3c317a52fe2a4e317e57bc.png) ---

You can definitely store a list as a variable. By the way, you don’t need the “[gear] list” block in front of the “make list from text” block. It probably ~~doesn’t~~ **does** hurt but it’s redundant because the “make list from text” block returns a list. A bit of a wild guess but could the “//” returned from your server be different from the text string “//” that you’re using as a delimiter? ---

Because this works just fine: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/4/d465709b32b16a97fe53d931b36bd73c9b083801.png) ---

I think actually the problem is that you are making lists of lists. Remove all of the “[gear] list” blocks and you should be fine. What you had was a list in variable _name5_ and then you created a list with that list as it’s first object. Then you got the first object of the new list which is just name5. So that’s why you’re seeing both values, name & number. You pretty much don’t ever\* need to use the blue “[gear] list” block. \*Someone will quickly correct me about not needing it… lol ---
