Hi,

here I can extract one element at a time:

But if I want to extract three consecutive elements into a list, for example the 3rd, 4th and 5th:

how do I do it?

(Generalizing: extract a list of 3 consecutive elements in position i-1, i, i+1)
list.pd

Thank you,
a.

@atux You can use [list store] for that. It takes messages like [get 1 3( to output a sublist of three items starting with the first item of the list. Take a look at the help file to find out how it works in detail.

Thanks, so it's like this:

list_2.pd

The only problem is that it is not circular, i.e. for example, executing [get 5 3( I would like it to extract [88 9 1(, but it doesn't work.

Thank you,

@atux The circular thing is a bit tricky .... Maybe you could just give [list store] a list of twice the length (the source list appended to itself)? That's not elegant at all but for the moment I don't have other ideas.

@atux It is easy to get fixated on [list store] with all of its features, some things are easier to do with the other list objects.
listget.pd

Nice, very interesting.
