How to leave only the following strings?












2












$begingroup$


Consider a data having the form



data = {{1,7,4,6},{1,6,4,8},{2,4,9,2},{E,...},{1,4,6,3},{4,4,6,2},{E,...},...}


i.e., some number $n_{1}$ of rows followed by row ${E,...}$, then some number $n_{2}$ of rows followed by row ${E,...}$ and so on.



Could you please tell me how to leave only the last rows before ${E,}$, i.e. to obtain



subdata= {{2,4,9,2},{4,4,6,2},...}?

Try SequenceCases:



data = {{1, 7, 4, 6}, {1, 6, 4, 8}, {2, 4, 9, 2}, {E, 1, 2, 3}, 
{1, 4, 6, 3}, {4, 4, 6, 2}, {E, 4, 5, 6}}
SequenceCases[data, {p_, {E, ___}} :> p]


yields



{{2, 4, 9, 2}, {4, 4, 6, 2}}

    The most idiomatic solution to this problem is, in my opinion, pattern matching (as Sakra has also answered):



    SequenceCases[data, {x_List, {E, ___}} :> x]



    {{2, 4, 9, 2}, {4, 4, 6, 2}}




    But the problem also lends itself to functional solutions, e.g.:



    pairs = Partition[data, 2, 1];
    If[#[[2, 1]] == E, #[[1]], Nothing] & /@ pairs



    {{2, 4, 9, 2}, {4, 4, 6, 2}}




    Or in one go:



    BlockMap[If[#[[2, 1]] == E, #[[1]], Nothing] &, data, 2, 1]



    {{2, 4, 9, 2}, {4, 4, 6, 2}}
