So:
field = Import(filename);
component_list = Inquire(field, "component names");
desired_component_name = Selector(component_list); // pipe Import's output to Selector's 'stringdata' input; normally the only input showing
force_update = Echo(Selector(field,"component names"); // if output is not forced, the Control Panel widget will not update if input changes
selected_component = Select(field, desired_component_name); // take the 'name' output from Selector to the 'which' input of Select
or Extract(field, desired_component_name)
or Mark(field, desired_component_name)

ok, I will try, but this solve partially the problem because by advance I don't know the name of the different_______________________________
components of my field. How is it possible to know the name of the components, to select one in the list and then
to send it to Extract or Mark.

If you really want to extract pressure, use Extract("pressure"). If you mean to identify pressure as the current data, say for coloring or glyphing, use Mark("pressure)". Select only selects members from a group (which you do not have: you have a field), or a stringlist.

Hello,
I have change the format of my files from the general binary format to binary native file format
(dx) because I wanted the connections to be inside the files and not calculated.
I am surprised not to be able to extract the different fields (pressure, temperature...). The Import
module is following by Select and Selector ones and I have the following error message :
ERROR: SELECTOR: Bad parameter: object must be a group or string list. I have understood
that Import module take by default the last object of the .dx file. It should contains the different
components
Any help is welcome
Thanks
