Hi,  
I have a question regarding plaintexts in openfhe : once I decrypt and I get a Plaintext, how can I go back to a vector ?  
Thanks !

```auto
Plaintext result;
context->Decrypt(key_pair.secretKey, c, &result);
//result->SetSlots(?); //here you set how many slot you used
vector<double> v = result->GetRealPackedValue();

```

(I assume you are working with reals)
