Split one conditions into subconditions

[weiym97]

I am working on MEG data in HCP database by importing one preprocessed file into brainstorm_db and I got 418 trials(epoches) just in one condition. However, I am trying to split this condition into several subconditions according to my own criteria(based on trial information,such as reaction time,etc...).

It is known that brainstorm provides toolbox to merge several conditions into one condition(db_group_conditions.mat). But the inverse process seems a little bit tricky. Except manually moving these trials(which is painstaking for me since there are hundreds of trials for each subject and I have nearly 100 subjects), could you please enlighten me an effective way to do this job?
Thanks so much~

There is no easy solution for moving files between folders.
The only thing I can think of would be to write a Matlab script that does the following:

• Get the list of files of interest: https://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/Tutorials/PipelineEditor#Search_Database
• Move the file with a call to the process "File > Move file" generated with the pipeline editor: https://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/Tutorials/Scripting
• You'll need to copy the channel file manually: with Matlab's function copyfile followed by a call to db_reload_studies.m (read the file header for help), or with the GUI (ctrl+C / ctrl+V)

Thank you so much! I have succeeded in copying these files by my own matlab script.
