Hi, Ángel. Like this?
\def\mylist{Fulano,Mengano,Sutano}
\def\mycommand#1{#1\blank{\red Something here}\blank}
\starttext
\processcommacommand[\mylist]\mycommand
\stoptext
There are better ways to deal with data in ConTeXt, but it's basically that way, I think.

Hello:
I am trying to print a list of names always followed by the same info (generated by a new command). At the moment, I have all the names followed by the command like so:
Person Number One \mycommand Person Number Two \mycommand Person Number Three \mycommand Person Number Four \mycommand Person Number Five \mycommand . . .
I'd rather have the list of people stored somewhere (a list? an array?) and loop through it and then inserting \mynewcommand at compilation time. That way, when I need to replace the list of people with a new one, I'd just do that instead of building the above structure again and again.
Is it possible to do that with just ConTeXt or would I need to resort to Lua. I guess it should be possible both ways, but I haven't figure out how to do it. Any pointer, please?
Thank you so much in advance.
Cheers, Ángel
