In my case the text field modifier was for letters to be imprinted on the
item, so I needed to charge 0.25 per letter.  I added code to both
basket.html and checkout.html that basically does:
  loop over all items in cart {
     if item has text modifier, count number of letters in text
  }
  add a "letter" item to the cart (it has to exist in a product file
     someplace, price is 0.25)
  set the quantity of the "letter" item to be the total number of letters

Is this the kind of thing you are trying to do?
