Arek,
Your requirement that you want to find the first sublist of length
greater than B, with all elements less than the threshold A, is
ambiguous. Consider the trivial list {7,7,7,7,7}, with A=8 and B=2.
Then the sublists consisting of the first three elements, the first
four elements, and the whole list itself all meet your length and
threshold requirements, and all begin with the first element of the
list. So which one do you want? Below, fnShort will generate the
shortest such sublist, and fnLong and fnSplit will generate the
longest such sublist.
In[69]:=
fnShort[x_List,thres_,len_]:=x/.{a___,(b__?(#<thres&))/;Length[{
b}]>len,c___}:>{b};
fnLong[x_List,thres_,len_]:=
x/.{a___,(b__?
(#<thres&))/;Length[{b}]>len,c___/;Length[{c}]==0||\
First[{c}]>=thres}:>{b};
fnSplit[x_List,thres_,
len_]:=Cases[Split[x,#1<thres&<thres&],b_/;Length[
b]>len,{1},1]//Flatten;
In[75]:=
test1={3,3,3,3,3};
test2={6,5,1,2,2,3.1,3,3,3,3,3,6,2,2,2,2};
A=3.5; B=3;
In[78]:=
{fnShort[test1,A,B],fnLong[test1,A,B],fnSplit[test1,A,B]}
Out[78]=
{{3,3,3,3},{3,3,3,3,3},{3,3,3,3,3}}
In[79]:=
{fnShort[test2,A,B],fnLong[test2,A,B],fnSplit[test2,A,B]}
Out[79]=
{{1,2,2,3.1},{1,2,2,3.1,3,3,3,3,3},{1,2,2,3.1,3,3,3,3,3}}
