It's not at all clear to me what the challenge is here, but you can use
fileIO to read the file. Each line in a tab-delimited file is its own line,
so it would be easy enough to place them on a separate line in a field or
text member.
To create a list, you might want to look into setting the itemDelimiter to
the tab char
the itemDelimiter = numToChar(09)
Then repeat for the number of lines in the file, repeat for the number of
items on the current line & append the item to a list.
Does that help?
