Well, I still did not conquer rules. here is with Map and If: In[15]:= Table[(If[IntegerQ[#1] && #1 =!= Last[ls[[i]]], #1 + 100, #1] & ) /@ ls[[i]], {i, 1, Length[ls]}] Out[15]= {{1}, {102, 3}, {104, 105, 6}, {107, 108, 109, 10}} On Feb 22, 2005, at 4:24 AM, Trevor Baca wrote: > hi mathgroup folks, > let's say ls looks like this: > ls = {{1}, {2,3}, {4,5,6}, {7,8,9,10}} > is there an elegant way to match all integers *except the last > (rightmost)* in each list and, say, add 100 to each? > ls /. <magic replacement rule goes here> > or > ls //. <magic replacement rule goes here> > to give {{1}, {102,3}, {104,105,6}, {107,108,109,10}}? > this works: > Release[ ls //. {a___, b_Integer, c___, z_Integer} :> {a, Hold[b + > 100], c, z} ] > but is there a more elegant pattern, possibly one that avoids the > Hold-Release trick? > trevor.
