Hi Sue,

  It sounds as though you just need to incorporate an if... then statement 
in your present code.  I imagine you already have a method to read each of 
the cell's contents as a string variable and include it in your list.  If 
the string sometimes contains the word "available", try something like:

...
let cellContents = ;your code to read next cell's contents
if (StringContains (cellContents, "available")) then
  ;your code to include cellContents in the list
endif
...

  hth

Martin
