Post subject:  First n terms of polynomial

If I have a polynomial, f, with many terms, is there a function that returns another polynomial that is the first n terms f with respect to the term order. For example, say f has 25 terms, I'd like to define a new polynomial that is the first 10 terms of f with respect to a term order.

Assume you have defined your polynomial p in SINGULAR. Then you can define an intvec v of the positions of the terms in p (w.r.t. the ordering) you want to be returned, say
Code:
intvec v = 1,2,3,8,12;

Then you can use
Code:
p[v]

to get the sum of the terms 1,2,3,8 and 12 of p.
