I assume you mean nowFunction to be some kind of "inverse" function, which takes a difference to the index or indices where that difference is achieved. In each case below, Scan defines the inverse, and then I list its values at the observed differences. n = 20; myList = Transpose[{Range@Length@#, #}] &@RandomInteger[{1, 10}, n] differences = myList.{-1, 1} {{1, 2}, {2, 10}, {3, 7}, {4, 8}, {5, 3}, {6, 4}, {7, 1}, {8, 5}, {9, 9}, {10, 10}, {11, 3}, {12, 2}, {13, 1}, {14, 1}, {15, 1}, {16, 9}, {17, 3}, {18, 8}, {19, 4}, {20, 6}} {1, 8, 4, 4, -2, -2, -6, -3, 0, 0, -8, -10, -12, -13, -14, -7, -14, \ -10, -15, -14} Clear[lastFound] Scan[(lastFound[#.{-1, 1}] = #.{1, 0}) &, myList]; lastFound /@ differences {1, 2, 4, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 10, 10, 11, 18, 13, 14, 20, 16, 20, 18, 19, \ 20} Clear[allFound] allFound[i_] = {}; Scan[(allFound[#.{-1, 1}] = Append[allFound[#.{-1, 1}], #.{1, 0}]) &, myList]; allFound /@ differences {{1}, {2}, {3, 4}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {5, 6}, {7}, {8}, {9, 10}, {9, 10}, {11}, {12, 18}, {13}, {14}, {15, 17, 20}, {16}, {15, 17, 20}, {12, 18}, {19}, {15, 17, 20}} Clear[find, firstFound] find[{j_Integer, x_}] /; Head[firstFound[x - j]] === firstFound :== firstFound[x - j] = j Scan[find, myList]; firstFound /@ differences {1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 8, 9, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 15, 12, 19, 15} This is similar to your original attempt: i = 0; now = Reap[ While[i < Length@myList, i++; Sow[i, myList[[i]].{-1, 1}] ]] {Null, {{1}, {2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {7}, {8}, {9, 10}, {11}, {12, 18}, {13}, {14}, {15, 17, 20}, {16}, {19}}} or this: Clear[allFound] i = 0; now = Reap[ While[i < Length@myList, i++; Sow[i, myList[[i]].{-1, 1}] ], _, (allFound[#1] = #2) &] allFound /@ differences {Null, {{1}, {2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {7}, {8}, {9, 10}, {11}, {12, 18}, {13}, {14}, {15, 17, 20}, {16}, {19}}} {{1}, {2}, {3, 4}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {5, 6}, {7}, {8}, {9, 10}, {9, 10}, {11}, {12, 18}, {13}, {14}, {15, 17, 20}, {16}, {15, 17, 20}, {12, 18}, {19}, {15, 17, 20}} Bobby On Tue, 07 Aug 2007 00:38:06 -0500, P_ter <peter_van_summeren at yahoo.co.u= k> = wrote: > Hello, > I have a list of elements of two numbers:myList = {{1,2},{2,7},..}. = The = > first number is in this case always the position.
