One approach I've used in the past to do similar things involves building a syntactically-correct string for the final object, then simply converting that string to an object with STR→. SREPL is very handy for converting the linefeeds (it's also very fast).

Here's one way to do that with the sample data you provided. It leaves the result in stack level 1 upon completion:

Code:

\<<
   FILE              @ recall source string to stack
   "{\"" SWAP +      @ place {" chars at beginning
   "\"}" +           @ place "} chars at end
   10 CHR            @ place linefeed char on stack
   "\" \""           @ place " " chars on stack
   SREPL DROP        @ replace all linefeeds with " "
   STR\->            @ convert the resulting string to an RPL object
\>>

This is simply an alternative method for accomplishing the same goal. Hope this gives you some ideas!
