multiple lines to a variable from a list

Old time zennoposter here.

I'm trying to find the function where I can just select number of lines to take from a list and put to a variable.

Seems only way to do this now is :

select sublist from a list
save sublist to a .txt file
take text and put to variable


I remember years ago someone promising us that they would just include these super old and useful macro things again that everyone misses Why was this ever taken out?

Add action C# code

string num_str = Convert.ToString(project.Variables["varible_with_number"].Value);
return project.Lists["List 1"].GetItem(num_str);

Put in "varible_with_number" your name which contain line number to select
Write here "List 1" name of list with strings (contains variables to set by number)

Turn off box "do not return result" (or something like this.
Set in select form your final variable name.

For multiple, if need, can modify code, or simply create new actions

Select sublist with desired range then Merges sublist List items, will merge all sublist items into variable.
