I assume that you know that # has a special meaning in Mathematica (
arguments of pure functions, see
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/Slot.html ) and that you know
that the correct syntax for this meaning is #1, #5, #7, etc. and that
#[[1]],#[[2]], etc. is NOT correct, then you can generate your list with the
correct syntax with the following command:

Map[Slot, {1, 5, 7, 9}]

Or with this:

example={1,5,7,9}
Map[Slot,example]

Asunto: [mg110988] Generate #s

Dear Group:
Suppose I have a list of ordered integers:
example={1,5,7,9}
Based on it, I want to generate a list of the form:
{#[[1]], #[[5]],#[[7]],#[[9]]}
 
I tested with simple things like:
Table[#[[example[[i]]]], {i,1,Length[example]}]
to no avail.
 
How can I do it?
