Converting string to list -- Unknown Operator error

Question

Dear fellow users,
in my Authorware project I'm using the following code. On my PC this works FINE, but on any other PC with the same version of Authorware this code results in EvalStatus 4/EvalMessage "Unknown Operator or Illegal character".
Summary of the code:
File := ReadExtFile("Test2.txt")
ClipSections := List(GetLine(File, 1))
An example of a line in Test2.txt is:
["C", "L", "C", "L", "C"]
The variable File contains: "[\"C\", \"L\", \"C\", \"L\", \"C\"]"
And the variable ClipSections contains: 0
I hope someone can help me figure this problem out; I've been trying to solve it (and searching online for relevant help) for hours now!
Thank you,
Caspar

Dear Michael,
I didn't realize the List Separator was dependent on the language settings. This is indeed the cause of the problem.
When using the List function, can I specify which separator to use?
Otherwise I will use something like,
if ListSeparator <> "," then replace(File, ",", ListSeparator)
