"choose list" question....


  • Subject: "choose list" question....
  • From: David Crowe <email@hidden>

This is a problem I've had several times. I have a list composed of lists, e.g.:


{ {1, "H"}, {2, "He"}, {3, "Li"}...}


I want to use 'choose list' to have someone select one or more entries.


First problem, how to get the list of text strings -- {"H", "He", "Li"...}?


Second problem, "choose list" returns the string (or strings) selected (e.g. {"Mg","Mn"} ).


Is there a way to figure out what the other part of the tuple was without scanning the first list.

This all seems very awkward to me.
