how to extract datas in the same branch and merge them

Hi guys,

I have one urgent question about extracting datas in the same branch of one data tree out.

like the image is showing:

there is an array of array of curves:

{0;0;0} {0;0;1} {0;0;2} {0;0;3} {0;0;4}

{1;0;0} {1;0;1} {1;0;2} {1;0;3}

{2;0;0} {2;0;1} {2;0;2} {2;0;3}

now i want to extract all the datas in the {0;x;x} format out and put into one separate array

and do the same thing to {1;x;x} and {2;x;x}

and what if I have more branchs than 3?

Is there a way that can automatically sort the list through and extract all datas of one branch

anyone can help?

thanks a lot

Hi hurriarc,

if I understand the problem correctly, I think you should be able to use a Path Mapper for this. The two masks would be:

{A;B;C} -> {A}

This will merge all the data of all the branches that share the first path index.

Hi Hurriarc

The sorting can be done with path mapper... for the rest you will have to get the branches with "explode tree

try this
source:
{A;0;B}(i)

Target:
{A}(B)
