Hi @Ardit19,

if not false then gg.removeListItems(res) end

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. Are you checking if results are empty or you're doing some flagging here?

--Check if results are empty:
checks = gg.getResultsCount()
if checks ~= nil then
	res = gg.getResults(checks)
	gg.clearResults()
	for i, v in ipairs(res) do
		v.address = v.address + 0x8
	end
	gg.addListItems(res)
end

If you're doing some flagging/conditioning, you need to store it as variable so you can edit it anywhere.

flags = false
if not flags then
	gg.removeListItems(res)
end

/*******************************************\

gg.addListItems(gg.getResults(gg.getResultsCount()))
  res = gg.getListItems()
  gg.clearResults()
  if not false then gg.removeListItems(res) end
  for i, v in ipairs(res) do
    v.address = v.address + 0x8
  end
  gg.addListItems(res)

It is better that you're editing the 'res' variable first before adding them to saved list using addListItems(). Otherwise, you will have duplicated items in your saved list.

How to remove unwanted list items from list

Coming to your question. You can store them first into a temporary variable:

temp_res = {}

for i, v in ipairs(res) do
	if v.value == 12340000 then
		temp_res[#temp_res + 1] = {
			name = "Name 2"
			address = v.address
			value = v.value
			flags = v.flags
		}
	elseif v.value == 12345000 then
		temp_res[#temp_res + 1] = {
			name = "Name 3"
			address = v.address
			value = v.value
			flags = v.flags
		}
	elseif v.value == 12345600 then
		temp_res[#temp_res + 1] = {
			name = "Name 4"
			address = v.address
			value = v.value
			flags = v.flags
		}
	end
end

gg.addListItems(temp_res)

Or you can edit remove it directly, the index will change:

for i, v in ipairs(res) do
	if v.value == 12340000 then
		v.name = "Name 2"
	elseif v.value == 12345000 then
		v.name = "Name 3"
	elseif v.value == 12345600 then
		v.name = "Name 4"
	else
		table.remove(res, i)
	end
end

gg.addListItems(res)

Edit directly without changing indexes:

for i, v in ipairs(res) do
	if v.value == 12340000 then
		v.name = "Name 2"
	elseif v.value == 12345000 then
		v.name = "Name 3"
	elseif v.value == 12345600 then
		v.name = "Name 4"
	else
		res[i] = nil
	end
end

gg.addListItems(res)

Second solution does not work as I tried multiple times, I got it from chatGPT. As per the rest solutions will try. Thanks for the answer!
