Re: delete does not work

The DELETE functions are intended as a possible optimisation, an optimisation that no longer really makes sense. Well... That does look plausible. Well, after reading all these posts I came to a conclusion: Do not use DELETE. Use (setf list (remove item list)) . That would be much more reliable bet...

Re: delete does not work

If delete always mimic remove and at the same time does not always modify the original list - what is the point of having the delete functions????

Re: Parsing a string.

Thank you... Found two solutions: Use a modified function split-by-one-space described here: http://cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net/strings.html#reverse (ql:quickload :simple-scanf) and then (snf::scanf "%s %s %f" "a b 12.3") => ("a" "b" 12.3) First is smaller. Se...

Parsing a string.

I have a file with format like text-a1 text-b1 1 text-a2 text-b2 2.98 text-a3 text-b3 3.6 Doing the reading like this: (defun myload (file-name) (let ((t1) (t2) (n)) (with-open-file (in file-name :direction :input :if-does-not-exist :error) (loop for line = (read-line in nil) while line do (progn (w...

Pick and remove

I want to pick an element from the list by position and remove that element from the list. Something like: (defun pick (index list) (let ((e)) (setf e (nth index list)) (delete e list :start index :end (1+ index)) e)) (defvar *mylist* '(a b c d e)) => *MYLIST* (pick 2 *mylist*) => C *mylist* => (A B...

loop through forms in a macro

The task: Time is a macro that can be wrapped around any Lisp call to time how long it takes. It will print out various statistics: (time (sleep 2)) Write a macro (time-many &body forms) that is like TIME but takes multiple forms as arguments. For each argument, it first prints the form being ti...

Re: Determine number of arguments for a function

Proper CLISP??? CLISP is not a synonym for Common Lisp. CLISP is one of many Common Lisp implementations and just like SBCL or CCL. As with all implementations they might be a superset and sure enough arglist is defined in it, but it doesn't make it more portable. [1]> (defpackage :test (:use :cl))...

Re: Determine number of arguments for a function

sylwester wrote:No it's not.. It locks you in to one implementation. Thus you are no longer writing Common Lisp but CCLs superset of Common Lisp. It's very unfortunate!
The only change required for making it a proper CLISP is to remove ccl prefix from arglist function
