I had not done enough testing before posting. Sorry about that. The following version of the function seems to work well as long as the first list is flat. In[1]:= copyPartition3[A_List, B_List] /; Length[A] >= Length[Flatten[B]] := Module[{start, end, lst}, lst = (If[AtomQ[#1], {#1}, #1] & ) /@ B; start = FoldList[Plus, 1, Length /@ lst]; end = start - 1; start = Most[start]; end = Rest[end]; lst = ((A[[#1]] & ) /@ Range[First[#1], Last[#1]] & ) /@ Transpose[{start, end}]; MapAt[#1[[1]] & , lst, Position[AtomQ /@ B, True]]] In[2]:= A = {a, b, c, d}; B = {1, 2, {3, 4}}; In[4]:= copyPartition3[A, B] Out[4]= {a, b, {c, d}} In[5]:= copyPartition[A_List, B_List] /; Length[A] >= Length[Flatten[B]] := Module[{i = 0}, Map[A[[++i]] & , B, {-1}]] In[6]:= copyPartition[A, B] Out[6]= {a, b, {c, d}} In[7]:= A = {a, b, c, d, {e, f}, g, h}; B = {1, {2}, {3, 4}, {5, {6, 7}}}; In[9]:= copyPartition3[A, B] Out[9]= {a, {b}, {c, d}, {{e, f}, g}} In[10]:= copyPartition[A, B] Out[10]= {a, {b}, {c, d}, {{e, f}, {g, h}}} Best regards, Jean-Marc
