Hi,
I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but I suggest Select/Cases:
myList = {1, -13, 4, 6, -12.3, -14, 10, 100};
Here you can use Select or Cases:
Select[myList, Negative]
{-13, -12.3, -14}
Cases[myList, _?Negative]
{-13, -12.3, -14}
myNewList = Split[myList, #1 #2 > 0 &]
{{1}, {-13}, {4, 6}, {-12.3, -14}, {10, 100}}
To get the elements you must now use level specification, so Cases is the
more natural choice:
Cases[myList, _?Negative, 2]
{-13, -12.3, -14}
But, if you want sub-lists you should use:
Select[myNewList, VectorQ[#, Negative] &]
{{-13}, {-12.3, -14}}
Greetings from Croatia,
