Is there a list object (or can I use a combination of list objects) that detects a specific order of numbers?

I.e. can I for example see in a list with several members if this sequence of numbers appears in the list?

although you can use some combination [zl] solution, for what you're describing, I often like to use the [match] object to keep it simple.

Match would unfortunately not work in this case because it will output those numbers no matter what order they are received in. I actually just ran into this little snag. I am trying to use the live.grid object to control matrix~ (because live.grid looks so dang good compared to matrixctrl, of course)

I attached my patch so you can get a better idea of what is going on.

Any help would be much much appreciated!


I made a script that seems to work. Send it a message 'match' to set the match sequence. A list input will be compared. If the input matches, the output will be 1.

Something went wrong, the maxpatch files are the same..

oh god what is happening with the filenames...

Match was made for just this sort of thing.

Hidde your Javascript patch works perfectly. Thank you so much for that!

The funny thing is I realized an extremely simple solution to my problem, which was to hook the mouse over information output of live grid directly to the unpack object (which inverts the list of row values and subtracts 1 column so that the output corresponds correctly with matrixctrl).

So perhaps my brain did not permit me to think that it could possibly be solved so easily but alas....
