Getting string data from a shape file attribute table

Hello

I am looking to extract string field from a shapefile attribute table to then allow me to do a number of IF logic calculations but I am not sure how to get that specific field from the shapefile to the allow me to script the calculations.

Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Fiona
