Dear Experts, I have a list: {{{{2.5}, {3.8, 31}, {54.23, 46.263, 45.987}, *{-82.1476,** 5.17782, -205.36}*}, {{2.5}, {4.2, 30}, {233.835, 46.469, 46.819}, *{93.8625, -13.9818, -198.778}*}}, {{{2.5}, {4.1,30}, {139.845, 15.719, 155.87}, *{93.6633,**4.46398, -205.432}*}, {{2.5}, {2.6, 32}, {113.381, 40.988,85.09}, *{90.1206, 16.9792, -205.314}*}}, {{{2.5}, {3.1,30}, {113.858, 34.709, 87.567}, *{55.3298,**17.7214, -211.648}*}, {{2.5}, {2.7, 30}, {110.54, 31.595,85.601}, *{-25.8558, 175.588, -121.105}* }}} How do I get each 4th sublist element in the last level? I mean, I want to get a list looks like: {*{-82.1476, **5.17782, -205.36}, **{93.8625, -13.9818, -198.778},**{90.1206, 16.9792, -205.314},**{55.3298,**17.7214, -211.648},**{-25.8558, 175.588, -121.105}}* which only includes every 4th element in the last level. Do I describe my question clearly? Better not to use any "For", simple Map or Thread method are preferred. Thank you very much!!! * *
