Re: About single quote, and double parentheses

I think you've mis-copied your example, because a) Macros usually use back-quote/tilde (`) rather than single-quote ('), because b) You can't use comma outside of back-quote, and your example includes commas, as you noted Comma is never used as a separator in Common-Lisp, instead it is integral to t...

Re: CLOS objects with many slots

Hmm, I really can't imagine a use of the ENV parameter that isn't deeply icky. It implies you mucking around with classes in a way that must surely break existing instances in a way that the normal method (evaluating a new DEFCLASS form) would safely navigate. Am I wrong? http://www.lispworks.com/do...

Re: Use of "reverse" Function in Lisp for minimax-alpha-beta

I'm afraid that I'm struggling a little with following the logic here due to the missing DEFUNs and the Spanish(?) identifiers, but if I'm reading it correctly, you could call REVERSE on the result of HIJOS (which I assume means children?)

Re: variable filter-list item

Because you are using single-quote (') your A symbol is not being evaluated.

Try using back-quote instead:

Code: Select all

(setq ss (ssget "_X" `((2 . ,a)))).

Re: Interacting with a web page, searching, drop-downs, butt

You can certainly do this purely in lisp, it's just that you will need to do more work (or use more libraries) drakma will let you fetch a web page, and submit forms, so you will have a function that does the login, and returns the cookie jar so that you stay logged in for the session. You again use...

Re: Interacting with a web page, searching, drop-downs, butt

Hmm My first reading of your post assumed you want to write a web-app, that runs on your own machine, that then connects to your school's server in response to your input, because you mentioned the DOM, and parenscript, and because the REPL won't give you things like fancy completion without quite a...

Re: using sockets to send a file

Since you haven't provided all of the code that you are using I have to try and make an educated guess: First most likely cause of your hang is that you aren't actually writing a newline to your socket, and so READ-LINE on the other end will hang indefintely. Don't use PRINT when you care about the ...

Re: Tutorial on the installation of CLSQL in GNU CLISP

It's rather difficult for me to recommend either clisp or clsql to a newbie.

clisp because it hasn't seen an update since 2010, has no maintainer, and doesn't bundle a recent ASDF (needed by recent libraries).

clsql because of its engineering decisions (this is subjective).

What is your goal?
