I have a file in the format:

day catch vess lgth tows
145 1234 24 85 76
146 1654 20 86 78
....


Each frame in the DX animation is kicked off by the sequencer generating a
day-of-year value. Given a file in the above format, I want to generate 4
captions on each frame, these being the catch, vess, lgth & tows values for the
row (in the input file) with a days value matching that of the sequencer.

I can use Include to filter out the undesired rows, leaving me with just the
values for that day. I can Mark the Include output to get each value
separately, but the Mark output is a field (which contains a single scalar).

How can I convert the single scalar value in the Mark (field) output into a
string I can use with Format or Caption?
