Extract

Usage

Extract[expr, list] extracts the part of expr at the position specified by list.
Extract[expr, { ,  , ... }] extracts a list of parts of expr.
Extract[expr, ... , h] extracts parts of expr, wrapping each of them with head h before evaluation.


Notes

Extract[expr, {i, j, ... }] is equivalent to Part[expr, i, j, ... ].
• The position specifications used by Extract have the same form as those returned by Position, and used in functions such as MapAt and ReplacePart.
• You can use Extract[expr, ... , Hold] to extract parts without evaluation.
• If expr is a SparseArray object, Extract[expr, ... ] extracts parts in the corresponding ordinary array.
• See Section 2.4.2.
• See also: Part, Take, PadLeft.
• New in Version 3.
