Yes, that is possible indeed. Write a file with each text item separated 
by commas (and I think they also should be within " ", not sure 
however), then read the file using:

   #while (defined(your text file))
     #read (....)
     ....
   #end

and apply each read text item to where/what you intend. Reading will 
automatically stop when reaching the end of the file.

I cannot tell just from the image unfortunately.
