Francisco,this solution can be easily generalized In[8]:= ex = {1, 5, 7, 4, "M", 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, "M", 3}; vals = {5, 2}; i = 1; ex /. "M" :> vals[[i++]] Out[11]= {1, 5, 7, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3} Adriano Pascoletti 2009/5/10 Francisco Gutierrez <fgutiers2002 at yahoo.com> > Dear sirs: > I have the following list: > ex={1,5,7,4,"M",6,7,8,9,1,"M",3} > I want to replace the M's in the following way: the first M by 5, and the > second by2. > Thus I have a replacement list > rL={5,2} > The problem is to get ={1,5,7,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,2,3} > How can I do this in the most general form (for any length of ex and any > number of values of "M")? > Thanks > Francisco > >
