Giving nil a value

Hi guys, I would like to replace any and all nils in a list with "none" . If I can see the nil (set 'a '(1 2 nil 4)) I can do (setf (a 2) "none") but (dolist (i a)(when (null? i)(setf i "none"))) returns nil. and (null? (a 2)) returns true. How might I fix this? I don't know where a nil might pop up...

Hi guys, I would like to use lookup and/or assoc to generate html tables. The source data will come from 4 different csv (maybe tsv) files.

Re: String interpolation

Something like this?

Code: Select all

"bar"
> foo
"bar"
> (set 'a "one :two: three")
"one :two: three"
> a
"one :two: three"

"one bar three"

(dolist (item a)
	(unless (or (starts-with item "\#")(empty? item))

	(set 'z (parse item ":"))

Your intentions are not clear in your example. sorry. I would like to combine these lists so that 1, 3, and 6 would be nested under 0 2 would be nested under 1 4 and 5 would be nested under 3 7 8 9 and 10 would be nested under 6 here's a terrible diagram 0 | / \ 1 3 6__ | | | 2 | | | | | | / \ | 4 ...

old newlisp blog software

howdy guys,

does anybody have a copy of the old blog script(s)? I think it disappeared because it was insecure, or it was depreciated in favor of newlisp wiki--I don't remember. Anyway, I just want to look at it, not necessarily use it.

Re: bad code, strange error

I can't reproduce the error. dang.

Still, up 'til now, I've never typed or seen (PLUG) anywhere, ever.

I worked around the problem, so I never saw it again, but I think it's weird too.

Hey guys, this (set 'agz (main-args 2)) (set 'onetwo (parse agz ".")) (if (= (length onetwo) 1)(append onetwo ".org") (set 'onetwotwo (cons (onetwo 0)(onetwo 1)))) results in this ERR: invalid function : (PLUG) Ok, so the code is probably a terrible perversion, but I'm curious about the error.

Re: file operations by process id

Rox is a file manager that you can configure to have panels along your screen's edge displaying directories or binaries or scripts. I know one reason I'm having problems: /usr/bin/rox is itself a shell script, and the pid resulting from running "rox --panel=mypanel" is not the pid of the actual pane...
