Parsing a list

I have a list that consist of a sequence of number. The first number in the sequence defines the number of numbers that follow that are of specific type. For example, if the first number is the integer 1, then it will be followed by one float, and then another integer. If the first number is the integer 2, then it will be followed by two floats, and then two integers. What have not be able to do is the code that will correctly extract these sets of numbers. The following is one example of several I have tried to parse the list correctly.

//temp is a list with integers and floats
integer x = llList2Integer(temp, 0); // the number of floats and integers
integer i;
for (i = 1; i < x + 1 ; ++i)
{//These are floats
timeList = timeList + llList2Float(temp, i); //This seems to work
}
for (i = x; i < x*2 + 1 ; ++i)
{//These are integers
intList = intList + llList2Integer(temp, i); //This does not work
}

Would someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Mod

Will the number of floats and integers always be even? if so, just break the list in half.

Otherwise, try something like

integer numberOfEach=llList2Integer(myList,0);
list floats = llList2List(myList, 1, numberOfEach);
list ints= llList2List(myList, 1+numberOfEach,1+2*numberOfEach );

Perhaps you should look into llGetLinkEntryType.

That should save you tons of memory, by not having to store the list entry type.
