In the simple case, yes. All the default export fields have a standard set
of names. Unfortunately, there are lots of them (upto 150) but ~25 are
common at our place. The bigger problem arises since it is possible to
change the names of the FE output and also to construct user defined
results with arbitrary names. Thus, ideally I'd like to be able to catch
all the FE result (Subgroup) names possible at run time. I have been
working along the lines of a cascade of <selectorlists><select> pairs but
discovered that there is a limit to the number of fields that can be
displayed. So I structured the Perl script to write out the data in element
groups with the aim of allowing selection of several of these which are
combined into the results to be plotted.
For any one DX input file, the list of Subgroups is constant, so if they
can be captured on import that might be a sensible way to go. I'm then
guessing that I could separate out the selected data with some
if?then:else's (or similar) either in a <compute> or a <select>. However, I
have no clear idea how to get the do that....
Thanks for the help

I think I know the solution you're looking for, but I guess I'm a little
lost on what the problem is. Do you know all the names of the Subgroups
(is there a standard set) or is this the problem you're trying to solve?
I'm assuming you're just feeding in your data set into the Selector for
the MainGroup which then gives you the members. Then if you have a
standard name set for the FEdata, you can hardcode the values into the
Selector.
