Hello! I'm a new member of the forums, but it looks like there's a fantastic community here that I'm excited to be a part of. Anyway, my question:

 what's an efficient way to get the index of the "

?" I've tried looking at the documentation of the zl object, but I can't find anything that fits what I'm looking for.

I'm coming from a traditional programming background, but can't use JavaScript to do this because the patch may receive two messages at exactly the same time (I'm building a mini-

 for major and minor keys in Max for Live and it will need to handle quantized chords) and whenever I try sending JavaScript two messages at once everything, predictably, crashes.

If I have a list, say 2 3 0 4 0 5 6 0 7 0 1 0 what's an efficient way to get the index of the "1?" I've tried looking at the documentation of the zl object, but I can't find anything that fits what I'm looking for.

You could also use listfunnel, which takes a list and outputs each element one at time preceded by its index.

zl sub will return each index in the max window but only the last index will be viewable within the patch. If you are dealing with multiple occurrences of a value in a list, then your best bet is to combine [zl sub] and [zl group]. great combo... powerful and compact.

and what if ... you want to get the index of "0"? think about it. ;)

there are thre objects i would built this around: either 

 (with an uzi to count through) or, when you list really only consists integer numbers, eventually even
