$Set List Position by item?

[Enigma 78]

Is there a way to $set list position by for instance a #variable or an item in the list?

 

So if you have a list containing the following:

 

apples

pears

oranges

banana

peaches

 

So for instance "oranges".

Then i want to $set list position => oranges instead of $set list position => "3"

 

Reason is that the list is "dynamic" so i want to start from a list but i do not know the content of the list, but i do know the itemname, which is anywhere in the list (can be from line 0 to 100000000000000).

 

Also, is there a way to set an end position?

Same thing, but now i want to set a list position that it stops the current task.

Kinda "$set end position", so as soon as that item (or #variable) is reached the script stops or move on to the next task.

It quite easy.. Loop it to the item and set that as list position..

Can you make an example?

I don't understand what you mean.

There you go:

 

add to list(fruits);
Set $pos = 0;
while(not($listitem($pos)=="oranges"))
{
 inc($pos);
}
Set $listpostion = $pos;
{
Do something.....
.....
.....
}
