Sample input:

serializeValueList ("a¶b¶c¶d")

Sample output:

a, b, c, d

Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

While ( [ //initialVariable

` = $$list
; `t = ValueCount ( ` )
; `c = 1
; `r = ""
; result = ""

 ] ; //condition

`c ≤ `t 

 ; [ //logic

  `r = GetValue ( ` ; `c )
; result = Case ( IsEmpty ( result ) ; `r ; result & ", " & `r ) 
; `c = `c + 1

 ] ; //result

result

 )

This does not use substitution, which failed to work in my situation. The loops through all the values.
