I'm not sure I understand what your trying to do. The result you are
getting looks like an elisp list structure to me. You should be able to
extract what you want using car, cdr and friends. 

e.g 

(setq my-var ("Typically only electric field is assigned" 0 41 (face font-lock-
string-face fontified t)))

(car my-var)
 => "Typically only electric field is assigned"

(cdr my-var)
  => (0 41 (face font-lock-string-face fontified t))

etc
