Is there an object like [coll] that can store more than one element in a line? Actually I would need two numbers per line, apart from the index:

Currently I use [coll] and combine the output of every two lines to a pair. But it would be more "elegant" to store in pairs. [funbuff] does not have an index. I do not understand [pattr] yet - is it probably what I am looking for?

1, 56, 0;
2, 57, 0;
3, 58, 1;
4, 9, 0;
etc.

You can store a list with coll, if you need to access the items 

individually, you can do that with the nth/sub/nsub messages.

Many thanks, I need the values as lists, the solution is perfect.

That easy and obvious!

if you deal with lists, I really encourage you to use the [zl] object.

It is no that easy to catch all the different modes at first, but it worth the effort, it is very powerfull.

with zl and coll you can do great things.
