Is there an object that stores a list? I need to compare the new incoming list with the previously incoming list ... what is the best way to do this?

storing-a-list

but if you only compare than why not taking [zl compare]? it stores one list in the right inlet, and compares it to any list received in the left.

Right inlet = store list
Left inlet = bang it out

Took me a while to find this one, too :)


Have a look to the zl object. It might appear intimidating at first, but does a lot of nice things with lists. [zl reg] and [zl compare] should do what you need.

You must've been doing something else with your other hand ;)

For more advanced list processing, I'd also recommend to have a look at the L-Objects:

I guess it hasn't been updated for a while, but they still do work ;-)

Thanks for all the advice - here's how it also can be done:
