Quickly finding groups/comps in an Entity Collection?

[cjthompson]

this thread reminds me of this:
http://refactormycode.com/codes/2-ruby-simple-loop
with each consecutive code sample improving on the last

although the only improvement I could possibly add might be:

def miner(ents)
    for e in ents
       if e.class==Sketchup;;Group or e.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
           miner(e.explode) 
       end
    end
end

Or to compact it as much as I can see, into a one-liner

def xis(a);a.each{|e|xis(e.explode)if e.class==(Sketchup;;Group||Sketchup;;ComponentInstance)};end

"xis" == e Xplode Instance S
Usage: xis(entities)

PS: a shorter way to do their puts 1 to 10 is this
n=0;p n+=1while n<10

I take a few extra lines for readability any day.

True, but "squish-the-code" is a fun exercise and I often learn something new.

def xis(a);a.map{|e|xis(e.explode)if e.respond_to?('move!')};end

(assuming no one has added move! to any of the built-in classes!)
