Add uniques M4L IDs to list
Hi everyone,
I’m working on a method to add IDs to a list, ensuring that each ID is unique and duplicates are filtered out. If an ID that is already in the list is selected, it will be ignored.
I’ve implemented a solution that appears to be working well for this purpose. However, I’d love to get feedback from the community. Would you approach this task differently, or do you have any suggestions for improvement?
Looking forward to your feedback!
Thanks!
Not sure if I fully understood what you wanted, but if it is something like "adding a unique Id x or Idx in front of any new incoming number", I came-up with this :

Hello.
If too I understand well you can use [zl thin] to filter repetition
If you receive ID for the first time, add it to the list AND output.
Received repetitions get filtered.
Is that what you want ?
if so, just store collected and thinned list and check it before new ID comes in.
if ID exists, ignore it, if it does not pass it.
Thank you for your answer! Yes, my goal is to filter out repeated IDs.
Schlam's suggestion of using [zl.thin] is a good approach. However, I'm not a big fan of using [prepend append] connected to a message. Is there another method that could achieve a similar result?
Here another version based on Schlam's patch, but without using [prepend append] connected to a message. It works, but if you choose an ID that's already in the list, obviously it change its position. I'd prefer it to stay in the same place.
here example using coll.
I don't use live GUI elements,
if you use live.menu, insert fromsymbol.
Hey man! I love that solution!
I've just adapted it to my needs :)
