How to invert MapIndexed on a ragged structure? How to construct a tree from rules?












4












$begingroup$


I have an arbitrary ragged nested list-of-lists (a tree) like



A = {{a, b}, {c, d}, {{{e, f, g, h, i}, {j, k, l}}, m}, n};


Its structure is given by the rules



B = Flatten[MapIndexed[#2 -> #1 &, A, {-1}]]



{{1, 1} -> a, {1, 2} -> b, {2, 1} -> c, {2, 2} -> d, {3, 1, 1, 1} -> e, {3, 1, 1, 2} -> f, {3, 1, 1, 3} -> g, {3, 1, 1, 4} -> h, {3, 1, 1, 5} -> i, {3, 1, 2, 1} -> j, {3, 1, 2, 2} -> k, {3, 1, 2, 3} -> l, {3, 2} -> m, {4} -> n}




How can I invert this operation? How can I construct A solely from the information given in B?

                            Here's an inefficient but reasonably simple way:



                            groupMe[rules_] :=
                            If[Head[rules[[1]]] === Rule,
                            Values@GroupBy[
                            rules,
                            (#[[1, 1]] &) ->
                            (If[Length[#[[1]]] === 1, #[[2]], #[[1, 2 ;;]] -> #[[2]]] &),
                            groupMe
                            ],
                            rules[[1]]
                            ]

                            groupMe[B]

                            {{a, b}, {c, d}, {{{e, f, g, h, i}, {j, k, l}}, m}, n}
