If that's the block of text you have to work with, set itemdel to quote and
use the odd items (delete last char) for the keys of an array, and the even
items as the values.
set itemdel to quote
repeat with a = 1 to the number of items in mydata step 2
put word 1 to -1 of item a of mydata into thekey
delete last char of thekey
put item a+1 of mydata into myarray[ thekey ]
end repeat
This code doesn't handle the keys that are the same, but it should give you
the idea.
