Slice Array
What It Does
Extracts a portion of a list to create a new list, based on start and end positions you specify. This lets you take a subset of items from any list.
Inputs
| Name | Description | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| array | The list to extract items from | List | Yes |
| start | The beginning position (index starts at 0) | Number | Yes |
| end | The end position (not included in the result) | Number | Yes |
Outputs
| Name | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| value | The extracted portion of list | List |
How to Use It
- Drag the Slice Array node into your graph.
- Connect your list (like
[Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple]) to the "array" input. - Set the "start" value (e.g., 1) and "end" value (e.g., 4).
- The output will be the specified portion of the list (e.g.,
[Blue, Green, Orange]).
Tips
- The end index is not included in the result, so slice(1,4) returns items at positions 1, 2, and 3.
- You can use negative indices to count from the end of the list (-1 is the last item).
