Finding Items in Lists and 'marking' their Indices

Hey all,

another problem.

Is it possible to use Texts like 'Freifläche' with the 'Find similiar members' Component?

If yes, what's the problem here?

What would you recommend me to use to find certain items (by names) for sorting them out later or to change them?

Thanks!

something like this?

the match text component finds a text value in a list containing texts and the two lists are compared if both have the specified text and at what list index.

cheers

Thanks.

What's the difference between a set and a list?

Actually (for me) there's no need for the lower half. Mabye I was irritating you by making a list of many Freiflächen. This was just an idea, because it didn't work with a list with only one index.

However, do you know why my version does not work? Like, just in case you are familiar with those components.

the set creates a list of items which are unique, so that it is a valid set. so from the list that the set is created you get one item freiflache, one wc etc (see create set component output panel)

you version does not work because when you input your list to find similar set input, the list is handled as set discarding the rest indexes with the value you are searching for, but you want to work in your original list.

take a look at the following

the find similar component searches for the wc value of the list, find the first wc in list and outputs the right index where you find the wc value. the next wc in index 9 is not considered.
