Hi, you mean Plus @@@ Split[List @@ expr, Head[#1] === Head[#2] &] or {Select[#, Symbol === Head[#] &], Select[#, f === Head[#] &]} & [expr] or Plus @@@ {Cases[#, _Symbol], Cases[#, _f]} & [expr] or (lst = Cases[#, _.*_f]; {# - Plus @@ lst, Plus @@ lst}) & [expr] or {DeleteCases[#, _.*_f], Cases[#, _.*_f]} &[expr] ?
