Roberto,

What about this simple approach:

list = Table[Random[Integer, {0, 20}], {20}]
{20, 13, 16, 12, 9, 0, 2, 19, 8, 12, 16, 0, 18, 20, 18, 4, 4, 12, 6, 3}

lowlist = Select[list, # <= 10 &]
highlist = Select[list, # > 10 &]
{9, 0, 2, 8, 0, 4, 4, 6, 3}
{20, 13, 16, 12, 19, 12, 16, 18, 20, 18, 12}

Hi,

I have a list (very long, thousands, and unsorted) of numbers r={n1,n2...}
and for a given a number m  I want to split it in the two sublists
(unsorted, same order) u={elements<m], v={elements>m}.
Now I use this *old-style*  method:

u = v = {};
For[i = 1, i <= Length[r], i++,
  tmp = r[[i]];
  If[tmp > m , AppendTo[u, tmp], AppendTo[v, tmp]];
  ] 

Any suggestion for a more efficient (and elegant) method?
Also oneliners are well accepted.

Many thanks, Roberto
