Hi Arek, if I understand you right, you want to consider numbers equal if the belong to the same 3-period: {1-3},{4-6},{7-9}.. This can be done e.g. by: Split[datalist, (Quotient[#1 - 1, 3] == Quotient[#2 - 1, 3]) &] Daniel Arkadiusz.Majka at gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > > I want to split a list, say > > z = {1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 7, 5,1,7}; > > into sublist of elements that are less or equal 3. > > so I want to obtain > > {{1,3,2},{6,4,7,5},{1},{7}} > > How to do it?
