Thank you. I'll try the update in my actual script and see how it goes.
I can't do a join since it's not a simple list I'm really trying to turn
into a simple list. This code seemed to demonstrate the crux of my issue
though and I'm hoping you provided the solution I needed.
I'm still trying to understand when quotes and brackets should be used.
