Hello,
I have a list [1,1,2,3,4,4,5] and I need [false,false,true,true,false,false,true]
I went in a way where I had like 15 nodes, sorted the indices, counted them, replaced the numbers… it’s a mess. I’m sure there is an obvious easier way just can’t figure it out.
List.uniqueitems i believe
list unique item gives you the… well… unique items.
Also the list is shorter. I need a boolean with the same list structure
Hi @daninet,
See below python script. It loops the list checking whether the next or previous item are the same. It assumes your input list is ordered.
list = IN[0]
boolList = []
for i in range(len(list)):
if i == 0:
if list[i] == list[i+1]:
boolList.append(False)
else:
boolList.append(True)
elif i == len(list)-1:
if list[i] == list[i-1]:
boolList.append(False)
else:
boolList.append(True)
else:
if list[i] == list[i-1] or list[i] == list[i+1]:
boolList.append(False)
else:
boolList.append(True)
#Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = boolList
Cheers
But combining that and list.contains? 
Hello,
Thank you, this is very close to something I want.
There are two bugs. Seems like it is not working with this sequence:
[“Ground Floor”,“Ground Floor Copy 1”,“Ground Floor”,“Ground Floor Copy 1”]
Else if there is a single element I get a null.
Can you please help with that? 
Yes that was working for me with flat lists but I found it hard to do it with multi level lists.
Show don’t tell, it is immensely easier if you show what you’re having trouble with
I don’t need the views that are duplicate for my script. I’m using their names (removing a suffix part with string replace) then I need a boolean to filter out the names that are duplicate without the suffix. The views are grouped per sheet so I need to keep the list structure so I can use filterbyboolean
sample.dyn (13.7 KB)
I realize this is not optimal, but if your list will always have those two levels (sheets and views) maybe this can work:
def isUnique(item, list):
count = 0;
for i in list:
if item == i:
count += 1
return count == 1
#The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variables.
list = IN[0]
boolList = []
for sublist in list:
boolSublist = []
boolList.append(boolSublist)
for item in sublist:
boolSublist.append(isUnique(item, sublist))
#Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = boolListIt works. Thank you very much.
I wonder if it is possible to solve with core nodes with bit more flexibility
I had to use one clockwork node (list.countoccurences) but this should do what your asking with nodes only. I think.
yes I got very similar with this node, but the structure of the list is not preserved, it’s flat.
I uploaded a dyn file a little above that shows the intent clearly
