Retrieving data from multiple lists from a single pattern

Hello,


I have a pattern I which contains two list items. I am able to parse list.
However, as there are two lists in one pattern, data related to only 2nd list is stores.


pattern: (padding=[1,2,3,4],data = 1, size=[1,2]);


The data related to first list gets overwritten.


Can I use some context like if token is padding store data to one array and if token is size save data to another array.


However, any suggestion is welcome.


Best Regards,

[There are lots of ways to do this. You could set a flag when you see the padding or size
token to say where to store the list. Or you could allocate space dynamically;
put each list in a fixed static place as you parse it, then make a copy when you see
the ] and return it. -John]
