Help! I have a large data list (1x400), and now I want to divide it into multiple small lists (10x40). How can I do this in Touchdesigner?

I have a large data list (1x400), and now I want to divide it into multiple small lists (10x40). How can I do this in Touchdesigner?

A few possible options:

  • use Python and write data into a new DAT. This is easiest if it’s a one-time or occasional thing
  • use Python in a scriptDAT. This is good if it’s real time
  • use multiple selectDATs to grab the sublists you want and then a mergeDAT to combine them into the grid

Hi @L_L

Also nice in case of numerical data: convert your DAT to a CHOP and use the Shuffle CHOP to split using the “Split N Samples” option of the Method parameter.

Thank you for your suggestions. I am not very good at Python scripts and I am still studying it. My friend downstairs has helped me solve this problem.

@snaut Thank you very much, I have solved this problem using the method you provided.
