Cloning a list

simple question, I wish to clone a list into another variable, is there a function for this or do I have to iterate through the list myself?

I'm on the phone and can't check, but have a look through existing projects. Yes, you create a 'copy' loop and best is to add it to a helper library. You can extend the List prototype if you like.

ok, so as I understand there is no pre-existing way to do it, I have to write it myself, thanks

  list1 = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
  list2 = ['a','b','c']
  list3 = list2.concat( list1 )
  print(' list1 = '+ list1 )
  print(' list2 = '+ list2 )
  print(' list3 = '+ list3 )
  list4 = list1.concat()
  print(' clone list1 to list4 = '+ list4 )

What a cool hack to use concat as copy replacement @Loginus =)

Never thought of it, LOL
Big thank you for this insight

If you want to make another list with the same data, all you need to do is

list_copy = list

If you are trying to save a string with comma seperated values, you can do

list_copy = "" + list

Just be careful when you do

list_copy = list

It does not create a copy of list it links them together.
If you modify list_copy it will also modify the content of list.
Basically it copies the internal pointer to the list data, not the list data itself.
