list llList2List(list src, integer start, integer end)
Copy the slice of the list from
start to
end from the list.
start and
end are inclusive, so
0, length - 1 would copy the entire list and
0, 0 would capture the first list entry.
Using negative numbers for
start and/or
end causes the index to count backwards from the length of the list, so
0, -1 would capture the entire list.
If
start is larger than
end the list returned is the exclusion of the entries, so
6, 4 would give the entire list except for the 5th entry.
Example:
list foo = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"];
llList2List(foo, 0, 0); // returns ["a"]
llList2List(foo, 0, 5); // returns ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"]
llList2List(foo, 2, 5); // returns ["c", "d", "e", "f"]
llList2List(foo, 4, -1); // returns ["e", "f"]
llList2List(foo, 4, 1); // returns ["a", "b", "e", "f"]
Compare with
llList2Float,
llList2Integer,
llList2Key,
llList2ListStrided,
llList2Rot,
llList2String and
llList2Vector.
Q: When did llList2List(["singleton"], 1, -1) start returning ["singleton"] instead of [] ?
A: llList2List has always returned the endpoints, -1 would be the first entry in a single entry list. Use 0x8000 or some other large number for the end point (instead of -1). Or just use llDeleteSubList(["singleton"], 0, 0) instead. --BW
