Well, perhaps

Lutz,

Thank you for your explanations which I could use readily. A dictionary is a separate context where the symbols correspond to the keys of the dictionary which are bound to values. The way how to construct an access symbol was unfamiliar to me but now I understand how it works.

Well in the mean time I found the answer in the manual

I can use the following three predicates:
http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/newlis ... html#assoc
and .

So the only question remaining is how to remove an existing entry.

A JSON parser is a contribution which is very welcome.
Did anybody else use and test the code?

Is it as well possible to write JSON files?

Hello I have been reading the passage http://www.newlisp.org/DesignPatterns.html#text_processing of the newlisp design patterns document. For me the paragraph about text processing is too terse and I do not really understand how to implement a dictionary. For example I would like to implement the ex...

Nice article... I've tinkered with Pico Lisp some time ago, and it seemd a very pragmatic and nice solution... In a way, it's like newLisp, in others, it's not... Where do you see the similarities to newLisp? Where do they differ? The article shows an intersting statistic where the interpreted pico...

Thank you for this links to the design patterns page. It is very useful. I was not aware of it. A suggestion for the future: A section of a side by side comparison of some of the more prominent patterns with COMMON LISP would be useful. I am currently learning COMMON LISP (CLISP and ACL) as well so ...

Yes, thank you all for your answers. In fact the dialog is produced, but it does not show up. The only thing that something happens is a new entry in the taskbar where people do not normally check regularily for new things. So from a usability point of view it is useless. But let's not use more time...

Why does not work in newlisp.exe (210kB exe)?

Hi

there is
print println write-line

but how do I write a string to a file without sending out a standard line termination character?

--HJH

It works fine in the 1.4MB newlisp-tk.exe but not in the 210kB newlisp.exe

--HJH

...It still works as before with link.lsp and show the icon in the command-window and the task-bar. So exactly what you want. Yes, indeed. I use this approach now. I just do a backup copy of the original 'newlisp.exe' to have it handy for the next time. Thank you for this recommendation! So we can ...

Hello I successfully used on a command prompt newlisp link.lisp (see http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/newlisp_manual.html#linking to create a 211kB-non-GUI-MSWindows executable with a newLisp script I wrote. It is fantastic how easy it is, to create small handy stand-alone Windows apps doing a parti...

Thank you for the answer. In fact for me the second version with passing the large data structure (the data base list) as a symbol is easier to understand.

Hi I have a general question of understanding after having read http://www.newlisp.org/MemoryManagement.html It seems that parameters are always passed by value to the functions. This means that a parameter value is copied, i.e. duplicated, when calling a function. This seems to be the case even for...

Great idea! But why not consider hooking up one of those great 2D / 3D libraries out there?

Hi what is the inverse function of string . (string 'hello) gives back "hello" . If I have a string how do I get a corresponding atom assuming the atom has no spaces. A note (or link) in the documentation under the entry string would be helpful. A similar question: how do I test strings for equality...

(setq list-of-lines (parse (read-file "myfile.txt") "\r\n")) Thank you Sammo. This is very compact and readable at the same time. It works fine and what is exciting: It reads UTF8 characters right out of the box (well, I had to install the exe). For the number of files I am dealing with this soluti...

Hi as a relative newcomer to Lisp and especially newLisp I would like to ask how a function in good style looks like which does the following: It reads in a text file line by line and gives back a list of all this lines. Call (read-textfile-into-list "myFile.txt") There is a partial answer in the do...

Hi I found a function which shows the current working directory on http://www.newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=Code_Snippets which is very handy Is there a function which is similar to the Tcl glob function? http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/tcl/glob.html I would like to say (glob "*.txt") and get back a li...
