when you write the values to the ascii file, construct code on the fly that 
will set the values to variables as you want like:

out test.asc
write 'Set var v1 int = 53'
write 'set var v2 text = ''SomeText'''   -- single quotes
write 'Return'
out scr
run test.asc



This is displayed this way for simplicity.  You can construct the values for 
the write statements in code as variables and then write that to the file as 
well...
