What is it then that you know? Their values?

If so, I'd serialize the list to a stream of floats, pass the stream to
some filter like [select 0.493] (the float I want strip out), and
concatenate the stream back to a list. 

To paraphrase that in Pseudo-Pd-code:

[list_serializer]
|
[filter]
|
[list_concatenator]


There is an example for a serializer in the help of [list]. A
concatenator is very simple:
