Hi,

First, thanks a lot to Valeri Astanoff, Daniel Lichtblau, David Park  
and Carl Woll  for the valuable suggestions to my previous post.

Let say I have a construct like

collection=Reap[i=1; While[i<=10,Sow[i]];]

Is it possible to put a condition on Sow referring back to  
collection ?  Something like:

collection=Reap[i=1; While[i<=10,If[Length[First[Last[collection]] ] 
 >5,,Sow[i] ] ];]

If not, - I have not seen any indication in Help either way - , what  
technique can be used to get a similar effect without resorting to  
global lists or arrays?

Thanks ahead,

János
