"flatten" a Variable string

[ww2airforce]

is it possible to "flatten" a Variable so i can move the text of a variable into something like a list then when the var changes the list will not change with it?
thank you

I have no idea what you are asking.... Can you rephrase your question?

sorry
ok lets say i want to make a list of names
and i have a input text field with a var name of "names"
and i also have a "GO" button

after i type in a name i click the GO button
when i click the button it will take the "names" var and move it to a new var called "nameList"

if i would do a code like
on(release){
nameList = names;
}
it would replace the old name name with the new name

but i just want add a new name

thanks for the help

nameList += names;
Which means: nameList = nameList+names;
