I have an applescript function which processes each item of an array. I'm looking for a way to drop a list like the following into my applescript file:

```
arrayitem1
arrayitem2
arrayitem3

```

and to use applescript to automatically format it into the proper applescript array syntax so I end up with this:

```
set array1 to {"arrayitem1", "arrayitem2", "arrayitem3"}

```

As you can imagine, for longer arrays it would be a hassle to manually add all the commas and quotations.

Thanks!
