break a variable length list at a specific element

Hi list,

I am having lists with a variable number of items and I want to break them
up two lists dependent on the presence of a specific item. I can't seem to
understand how to do it though. Here's a quick example of what I mean:

1 2 3 4 5 6 
look for the number 4 and output two lists (at separate outlets) which
are before and after that number 4, giving:
1 2 3
and
5 6
respectively

I'd need the solution to work for lists of other lengths as well, i.e.
55 66 77 88 4 102 -33
should be broken up into 
55 66 77 88
and 102 -33 
alike.

I tried [route] and [list] objects but can't get them to do what I want.

thanks!
P
