Group-list with expanded functionality

Hello,

I hope also suggestions are welcome here. I have a suggestion for an expanded version of group-list. I’ve been able to implement this via patches, but in seems to be highly inefficient as I personally need it for a test function. Maybe others would find it useful, too.

Here is what my patch does:
-Groups lists normally, eg. (1 2 3 4 5 6) (1 2 3) → ((1) (2 3) (4 5 6))
-Allows repetitions in grouping, signified here by a minus sign: eg. (1 2 3 4 5 6) (1 2 -3)-> ((1)(2 3)(3 4 5))
-In the case the first number is negative, the repeated element is taken from behind the list:
(1 2 3 4 5 6) (-1 2 -3) → ((6) (1 2) (2 3 4)).

Would someone here be able to implement a version that would be faster?
Thanks!

Dear Teemu,

If I understand you well, the minus sign just shifts the list by one element. If this is correct, your algorithm could be expressed as:


And therefore transcribed into a lambda function graphical object.

Here is the lisp code (if you need), and the om folder (to be imported after unzipping into your workspace.

Hi,
here an update of the code to make it work circularly

Thank you! It seems to work correctly.

Dear Teemu,

Here is a more general grouplist/rotation method:
