Index in list

[rustedst]

So I have a really large list and I want to find the index of an element in that list. Like:

set {_i} to index of {variable} in {exampleList::*}

this doesn't work. I don't wanna loop the list to use loop-index because it's too large.
And then I wanna edit that element and change it. Like:

set the {_i}th element of {exampleList::*} to {otherVariable}

but neither of them don't work.

Any ideas? Thanks

I have needed to do this before when I was still pretty new to skript. I've been away from minecraft for a while but I remember my work around was to create variables such as

{exampleList::1}

and next would be

{exampleList::2}

and you would set each of those to whatever you want.

set {exampleList::1} to "blalala"
set {exampleList::2} to "Man, I'm second :("

To do this easier you should create a loop to store the variables.

loop {_n} times:
  add 1 to {_l}
  set {exampleList::%{_l}%} to {variable}
