User-Defined Function: integer uListFindListReverse( list vLstSrc, list vLstTst );

Returns an integer index of the last instance of vLstTst in vLstSrc

  • vLstSrc: source list to check
  • vLstTst: list to look for

if vLstTst is not found in vLstSrc -1 is returned.
the index of the first element in vLstSrc is 0

Code:

  • LSO: 168 Bytes
  • MONO: 512 Bytes
integer uListFindListReverse( list vLstSrc, list vLstTst ){
    integer vIntRtn;
    if (vLstTst != []){
        integer vIntPst = (vLstSrc != []);
        while ((vIntRtn -= ~llListFindList( llList2List( vLstSrc, vIntRtn, vIntPst), vLstTst )) ^ vIntRtn );
    }
    return ~-vIntRtn;
}

Notes

  • function loops n+1 times (where n = number of instances of vLstTst in vLstSrc).
    • this may make it slow for large lists containing many copies of vLstTst
  • Unlike llListFindList, this function properly returns -1 if either vLstSrc or vLstTst is an empty list([]).
