[maxmsp] recall index from any data

This is something very easy to do in LISP.
Why don't you try maxlisp~ at:
http://music.columbia.edu/~brad/maxlisp/

Maxlisp~ encapsulates LISP in Max.

Then in LISP it is just: (position 15 '(a b 6 7 8 4 1 er 12 35 2 15 9  
8 7 6))
Returns : 11 wich is the position index of element 15.

Any operation on lists are that easy in LISP.
Generally speaking, Max being somewhat uneasy with lists, it could be  
a good idea for those who work very often with lists to use this  
language inside Max.

LISP means "LISt Processing".
