In ArmA3 ver 1.14 there’re several comfortable workarounds with [[configFile]] for collecting subclasses. As for traditional workaround like:
<code>
(configfile >> "CfgFaces") call {
  private ["_classes"];
  _classes = [];
  for "_i" from 0 to ((count _this) - 1) do 
  {
    if (isClass (_this select _i)) then
  {
  _classes set [count _classes, configName (_this select _i)];
  };
  };
  _classes
};
//return: ["Default"……"O_Colonel"] 8 items
</code>
Alternative recommended workaround by using: [[BIS_fnc_getCfgSubClasses]] e.g.
<code>
(configfile >> "CfgFaces") call BIS_fnc_getCfgSubClasses
//Same as traditional workaround
</code>
Another powerful replacement is using [[BIS_fnc_returnChildren]] to collect grandchildren classes with desired level, e.g.
<code>
[(configfile >> "CfgFaces"),1,true,true] call BIS_fnc_returnChildren;
//Return all children faces with a total number at 68
</code>
And as for another advanced workaround for direct processing collected classes, use [[BIS_fnc_uniqueClasses]]. E.g.
<code>
my_array = [];
[(configfile >> "BombCrater"),{my_array set [count my_array,(_this select 2) call bis_fnc_getcfgdata]}] call BIS_fnc_uniqueClasses;
//return [[0,0,0],[0,0,0],[0,0,0]]
</code>
