generating a tree-like structure

[Thorsten Kampe]

Hi,

This is a fairly general question: is there some kind of module or 
framework that allows building a tree like structure from certain kind 
of data?

To be specific: I have a program that dumps the content of a LDAP 
directory including all properties and values and groups the result 
from the LDAP search by objClass.

Now I was thinking: would it be possible to generate from the totally 
unordered output that the LDAP server gives me, a tree like 
representation that displays the hierarchy (omitting the values or 
even properties if necessary)?

It should be a textual representation of what you see in GUI programs 
like "LDAP Administrator" but the output should be represented like 
the "tree" program in Linux or Windows "tree.com".

Any ideas appreciated...
