Category: puredata Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Frank Barknecht (fbar) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: negative indices for [list split]
Initial Comment: Hi,
I would really like to see if the split operation of [list] would also accept negative indices to split a list at a point searched from the end of a list.
I implemented this in the [list-splat] abstraction, which is in abstractions/footils/list-abs/, however to do this, I needed to revers the list several times, which can be a performance problem, if lots of lists need to be processed.
Splitting at negative indices feels like a natural operation, and it will probably not break (m)any existing patches.
Ciao
