B = String(merkit.ValueAtIndex(3))

C = String(nimet.ValueAtIndex(3))

Thanks a lot! It was easier than I thought.

No probs. Just so you know, ValueAtIndex iterates through the entire list until it gets to the right index. Normally not a problem but the larger the list, the slower it gets. If you're doing this with lists containing hundreds/thousands of objects then you might be better off using an array.
