zl queue will refresh its second outlet everytime it receives a bang. This works better (I just changed 1 patchcord):

thank you, patrick, it works indeed! still puzzled, why the original doesn´t work. methinks it shouldn´t trouble zl group to recieve different lenghts before it actually recieves the data.

anyhow, this helps hans

Hans,

zl group probably forgets what it received in its left inlet when it receives a value in its right inlet.

p

yeah, patrick, i figured it out meanwhile. i forgot to account for zl queue counting down while giving out its data. that of course confused zl group.

thanks for putting me on the track hans

If you want to achieve this with one object, I recommend using [mxj list.Queue]

best, Zachary

or this way. you don't need to tell zl.group what length comes in. use the "done" bang from uzi to push out your list:

zach, mib,

both thanks for the extension! @zach: i probably avoid java, for portabilitys sake (the thing its intended for has to play nicely on windows too and i have zero experience with windows + java). but thanks for reminding me of the list.queue. @mib thanks! fewer objects = better :-)
