The second part of your question is pretty easy. Use Cull Nth instead of Cull Pattern. What your trying to do is to cull the first and last items from your list. So, you know the first item will have index number of 1. To find the end of your list, just use the List Length component. You may have to Cull your list twice, once for the first item, and once for the last item, but it should be pretty straight forward. This should give you what you need. I can try to put together a simple example if it isn't clear enough. -Andy
