Hi Valeri,
It is not clear to me how your sublists are partitioned within the big list
in the unflattened version - always by 3 together, or some other principle?
Your function seems to work by pure accident. Consider random data of your
form instead of your a1:
In[50]:==
rnda ==
Partition[Table[{{RandomInteger[{0,10}],RandomInteger[{0,10}]},RandomIntege=
r[{0,10}]},{9}],3]
Out[50]==
{{{{8,8},7},{{2,1},7},{{3,1},7}},{{{10,9},1},{{8,9},10},{{10,5},8}},{{{9,10=
},6},{{9,8},1},{{7,6},1}}}
In[51]:== rnda2 == Flatten/@Flatten[rnda,1]
Out[51]==
{{8,8,7},{2,1,7},{3,1,7},{10,9,1},{8,9,10},{10,5,8},{9,10,6},{9,8,1},{7,6,1=
}}
In[52]:== unflatten@rnda2
Out[52]==
{{{{2,1},7},{{2,5},f$2163[2,5]},{{2,6},f$2163[2,6]},{{2,8},f$2163[2,8]},{{2=
,9},f$2163[2,9]},{{2,10},f$2163[2,10]}},{{{3,1},7},{{3,5},f$2163[3,5]},{{3,=
6},f$2163[3,6]},{{3,8},f$2163[3,8]},{{3,9},f$2163[3,9]},{{3,10},f$2163[3,10=
]}},{{{7,1},f$2163[7,1]},{{7,5},f$2163[7,5]},{{7,6},1},{{7,8},f$2163[7,8]},=
{{7,9},f$2163[7,9]},{{7,10},f$2163[7,10]}},{{{8,1},f$2163[8,1]},{{8,5},f$21=
63[8,5]},{{8,6},f$2163[8,6]},{{8,8},7},{{8,9},10},{{8,10},f$2163[8,10]}},{{=
{9,1},f$2163[9,1]},{{9,5},f$2163[9,5]},{{9,6},f$2163[9,6]},{{9,8},1},{{9,9}=
,f$2163[9,9]},{{9,10},6}},{{{10,1},f$2163[10,1]},{{10,5},8},{{10,6},f$2163[=
10,6]},{{10,8},f$2163[10,8]},{{10,9},1},{{10,10},f$2163[10,10]}}}
So, it gives a mess here. Either it uses some data format-specific
information in some non-obvious way (but then you had to give us a more
precise format specification for you unflattened list), - and then my
randomly generated data simply do not comply with your format, or your
function is wrong.
Assuming constant partitioning by 3 sublists in the main unflattened list,
here is my attempt:
In[61]:==
a1 == {{{{1, 0}, 1}, {{1, 1}, 1}, {{1, 2}, 3}}, {{{2, 0},
5}, {{2, 1}, 0}, {{2, 2}, 0}}, {{{3, 0}, 4}, {{3, 1},
5}, {{3, 2}, 2}}, {{{5, 0}, 1}, {{5, 1}, 3}, {{5, 2}, 2}}};
In[62]:==
a3 == Partition[Transpose[{a1fl[[All, {1, 2}]], a1fl[[All, 3]]}], 3]
Out[62]== {{{{1, 0}, 1}, {{1, 1}, 1}, {{1, 2}, 3}}, {{{2, 0},
5}, {{2, 1}, 0}, {{2, 2}, 0}}, {{{3, 0}, 4}, {{3, 1}, 5}, {{3, 2},
2}}, {{{5, 0}, 1}, {{5, 1}, 3}, {{5, 2}, 2}}}
In[63]:== a3 ====== a1
Out[63]== True

Leonid
