I shall have a look at all your suggestions, they look all very good. The [coll] object seems to be the easiest solution to adapt to my patch, but I don't like the fact that the [sort< fonction strips out the number it uses to do sorting, in my case the timestamp which is off course an important information.

The problem is this : my patch
outputs the lists in an unordered way. I could rewrite the patch so that the lists gets outputed the correct way, but to be able to store all the lists somehow and then write a patch to order them afterward feels to me like a much more elegant solution. Any toughts on this?<br>For me it is not very clear if:<br><br>a. your patch outputs some unordered lists for which you want to save the produced order E.g.<br>[x y z(<br>[z x y(<br>[a b c(<br><br>should be written to the text file in that order<br>1 x y z;<br>2 z x y;<br>3 a b c;<br><br>or<br><br>b. your patch outputs lists like<br>[3 x y z(<br>[1 z x y(<br>[2 a b c(<br>in an unknown order and you want to save them in the text file as:<br>1 z x y;<br>2 a b c;<br>3 x y z;<br><br>In case a. it's quite trivial just add a counter which grows at each list production and prepend it to the list then add the list to the [textfile]<br>In case b.

use some scripting like python to easily sort them<br><br>Lorenzo.<br>> <br>> Thank you all, this list has been very helpfull to me, and its also quite entertaining!<br>> <br>> Benoît<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> <a ymailto="mailto:Pd-list@iem.at" href="mailto:Pd-list@iem.at">Pd-list@iem.at</a> mailing list<br>> UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> <a href="http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list" target="_blank">http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list</a><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><a ymailto="mailto:Pd-list@iem.at" href="mailto:Pd-list@iem.at">Pd-list@iem.at</a> mailing list<br>UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> <a href="http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list" target="_blank">http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list</a><br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
