Use a Rule with ReplaceAll (/.). testList /. {_, {3, 4}} -> {100, {3, 4}} {{11, {2, 3}}, {100, {3, 4}}, {34, {5, 6}}, {51, {7, 8}}} David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ From: ishii.mitsuo.titanium at nsc.co.jp [mailto:ishii.mitsuo.titanium at nsc.co.jp] Hi I have a problem. I have a list. testList={ {11,{2,3}},{21,{3,4}},{34,{5,6}},{51,{7,8}} } 1) From this list, select any element list such as {x,{3,4}}, where X is an arbitrary number. In general, position of {x,{3,4}} in "testList" is not fixed. 2) Select any element list such as {x,{3,4}} and then exchange {x,{3,4}} to {100,{3,4}}. 3)Make a new list finally. testListNew={ {11,{2,3}},{100,{3,4}},{34,{5,6}},{51,{7,8}} } Please teach me how to solve. Thanks in advance. Mitsuo Ishii
