Repeat Component

In Repeat Component's help it talks about order of repeat (retain or not) but in the component there is not any clue how to do it ( I thought it should be like Duplicate component which has a True/False switch for that).

I am trying, but it does not retain the order !!!

any suggestion?

Thanks

Where does it say that? The only sentence I can find that explains how the component works is "Repeat a pattern until it reaches a certain length."

The very nature of how Repeat works makes it impossible to not retain the list order.

in the help there are two examples:

Input list: {A,B,C} / Output list: {A,B,C,A,B,C,A,B,C} when it retains the list order

Input list: {A,B,C} / Output list: {A,A,A,B,B,B,C,C,C} does not retain list order

so what does these examples mean??? may be I am confused ????

thanks

That is from the Duplicate component helpfile. Do you have 0.6.0059? Maybe the helpfile was wrong and I fixed it in a more recent version...?

ok ok ok

:D yes it was my fault !!!!!!
I used ver.55 ... although I always check the Download page !!! my be a bit blind !!!!!

by the way

I retained the list order using my desired path lists and calling Data Tree by new path lists. ... this was the best I have found !!!!

Thanks again.
