Technical Details

Return Type: list
Energy: 10

Basic Strided Access

list mylist = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6];
list result_a = llList2ListStrided(mylist,0,-1,2); //start at first item in list, go to the end, return every 2nd item
//result_a == [0,2,4,6]

list result_b = llList2ListStrided(mylist,1,-1,2); //start at second item in list, go to the end, return every 2nd item
//result_b == [2,4,6]

list result_c = llList2ListStrided(mylist,2,-1,2); //start at third item in list, go to the end, return every 2nd item
//result_c == [2,4,6]

list menu = ["1", "one", "2", "two", "3", "three"];
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llListen(10, "", llGetOwner(), "");
    }
    touch_start(integer detected)
    {
        list buttons = llList2ListStrided(menu, 0, -1, 2);
        llDialog(llDetectedKey(0), "choose a number", buttons, 10);
    }
    listen(integer channel, string obj, key id, string message)
    {
        integer index = llListFindList(menu, [message]);
        if (index != -1)
        {
            llOwnerSay("you chose " + llList2String(menu, index + 1) + " (" + message + ")");
        }
    }
}

Notes

Starting at an Offset

If you want every second (or third, etc.) item in each stride returned, rather than the first, use llList2ListSlice instead.
