javascript - jQuery: Group <a> links based on text value -


jquery noob here - needing help.

basically, because go's html/template output sucks, i'm forced use more js (which suck at!)

i have ordered, not grouped list of links, need grouping "parent folder" links, text value. file/folder tree.

the list dynamic, based follows:

<div id="files"> <a>file.rb</a> <a>somefile.rb</a> <a>folder</a> <a>folder/level2</a> <a>folder/level2/file.js</a> <a>folder/level2/level3/anotherfile.js</a> </div> 

so files need grouped parent folder, , folders grouped recursively text in 'a' element. parent 'a' 'folder' , child 'files' within folder.

unfortunately, folder , file 'a's can't given separate classes on generation due underlying go script. output expanded directory of folders / files in ordered, not grouped links.

re: comment below: example desired output following:

i understand mean splitting files/folders ul/li lists, i'm fine that. it's detection of file vs folder & folder level link text struggling with.

any appreciated! thanks! :)
