I have carefully looked through the zl object’s different flavours but cannot cannot find a solution for this: I’d need to transform a list like

[cat dog bird dog cat dog] into
[cat 0 dog 0 bird 0 dog 1 cat 1 dog 2].

The purpose of this is a m4l device that can deal with chains of devices with multiple same devices in them. I do not want to cross-post, the whole patch is described and posted here:

thank you for your help,
carloskleiber

1. Use [iter] to work through the lists individual elements,

2. Have [select dog bird cat] triggering some [counter]s,

3. Join these back together with [zl]… perhaps group, join or stream? Sometimes it’s nescessary to use a combo of [zl] objects for the desired effect.

Hope this works!

Mark

I’m sure there is an easier way, but it seems to do the trick. I only did minimal testing, so please let me know if/when it breaks and how.

thank you very much for the answers,
@Mark, select wouldn’t work here because the choice is between all possible live audio and midi effects, plus vst and other plugs.

@MIB, your patch seems to work perfectly, I’ll post here as soon as I have built something useful around it;)
thank you,
carloskleiber
