Hi,

Thanks for the info.  There was also a line_merge (or merge line) plugin.   The 
problem with the function that you are indicating is that it take a single 
Multilinestring and create a simple linestring if the ends are connected.  What 
I am looking for is a way to select a file made of simple linestrings and to 
merged them into a single multilinestring if they share a node or share and 
object that shares a node.  So, for example, if you had two cities separated by 
a river (and there was no way to cross the river), all the roads would be 
merged in two objects, one for each city.

This post explains what I would like.  It offer a QGIS 2 script that could 
help.

I will share a file with and example of what I am looking for.
