function ExtractItems tabl,col
  put "" into a
  repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in tabl
    set cursor to busy
    put (item col of line x of tabl) into line x of a
  end repeat
  return a
end ExtractItems

one liner would be

put extractitems(mytable,2) into nucontainer

(sorry for the humor!)
