Hello.  
Didnt found a solution for my issue, so here i am.  
I have a list, lets say:  
0 2,5  
1 2,7  
2 2,1  
3 2,5  
4 2,3  
5 2,5  
6 2,0 and so on  
and i need to find all values, lets say equal to 2,5 and replace with something else  
“find # occurence” in lists`s blocks doesnt help me, as i can select only "first", "last", "random" and not all. Im not looking for a loop that evaluates every list`s item … or maybe this is the only solution ?  
thank you.

Yes. You’ll need to loop as the efficient and. Or text process.

Hi there,

Just to elaborate on Jared’s recommendation to do this with text processing:

You can start by converting your list to text with a [list](https://docs.thunkable.com/v/drag-and-drop/lists) block:

NOTE: I used a comma as a **delimiter** here. This is the character that separates values in your list. Since your list items contain commas, you should use another delimiter, like a semi-colon **;**

Then replace whatever value you want to replace in this text with [text](https://docs.thunkable.com/v/drag-and-drop/text) blocks:

Then convert this text back to a list:

Make sure to use the same delimiter as earlier!

Then you can set your List Viewer to display this new list:

You can see a project that uses these blocks [here](https://x.thunkable.com/projectPage/60d44903a263b10012feea40)
