What am i doing wrong?

ssram

If i do

shapes=geGetSelSet()~>layerName

i get all the selected layer names. And if my output is something like

("m0" "m0" "m0" "m0" "m1" "m1" "m2" "m2" "m0" "m2")

how do i get only the list of "m0" ?

    Hi,

    You can use "setof" to filter a list

    setof(x geGetSelSet() x~>layerName=="m0")

    The above line will return a list of shapes (db IDs)  that are only of layer "m0".

    There also another function named "exists" which works similarly, but I prefer "setof".

    I should point out that exists doesn't really work similarly - exists returns the remainder of the list which starts with the first element that matches the condition, whereas setof returns only the elements of the list which match the condition...

    Sorry to be pedantic - just didn't want ssram to head off in the wrong direction.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
