I'm using leafletjs to draw a line from marker to marker. But the markers are grouped into sets, each with its own name. I get the data from MySQL with PHP and create;

var OBJMarkerList = L.layerGroup([W0DLK01,W0DLK02,W0DLK03,W0DLK04,W0DLK05,WA0TJT01,WA0TJT02,WA0TJT03,WA0TJT04,WA0TJT05,WA0TJT06,WA0TJT07,WA0TJT08,WA0TJT09,]);

Notice the name changes. But I need to pass it into a function one part at a time in order to change the color of the line. So while I have the above OBJMarkerList what I really need is;

var W0DLKOBJMarkerList = L.layerGroup([W0DLK01,W0DLK02,W0DLK03,W0DLK04,W0DLK05,]);

And another for the other set of values, WA0TJTOBJMarkerList. I created an array of the names;

const allnameBounds = (['W0DLKOBJMarkerList','WA0TJTOBJMarkerList']);

But its literally just the names and the function (below) will not accept it as input to convert to the x,y coordinates I need.

function connectTheDots(data){
            var c = [];
            for(i in data._layers) {
                var x = data._layers[i]._latlng.lat;
                var y = data._layers[i]._latlng.lng;
                c.push([x, y]);
            }
            return c;
        }

How can I split the L.layerGroup into two or any number of parts based on the variable names given? There will usually be more than just two, this is a simplified example.

I tried iterating over the allnameBounds array in all the usual ways and while the looping works to extract the name, the function does not process it like the leaflet object it is.

I also went back to the MySQL/PHP and tried to create a stand alone for each name, that's fine but I still need another list of the L.layerGroup names to iterate over.

Spliting or slicing the combined seemed the only answer. I just don't know how to get there.

Can someone give me a better way or show me how to split the overall list?
