Hi, the Geany [0] editor comes with a LISP filetype definition file [1]. I would like to modify this to make it newLISP friendly. I would like any additional suggestion over what I am here asking if is the logical approach to modifying this LISP definition file to make a newLISP definition file. Fro...

xytroxon,

You got me in business! :0)

I will combine the find-all w/ nL symbols technique cormullion taught above with your process-tags, [a.k.a. the laundromat :]

Big kickin! :D

string - !!! I see, yes. Super! Thank you cormullion ! I am using the Geany text editor, and it has a LISP document filetype, which I use. I attached what it looks like on my screen. I do not see it highlighting symbols. These were already defined further up the page, enclosure-tag-open and enclosu...

Hi - This is my working code to grab titles from my page: (set 'titles (find-all {<h2>.*</h2>} page $0)) Sometimes they are not <h2> tags that I have to look into to find my titles. Sometimes they are <a href=...> tags that are inside of <h2> tags. Tough! :0) I have definied two symbols, enclosure-t...

Thanks very much, Patrick - I see now why the list wasnt working now. I will read the manual entries more carefully now. Beautiful and elegant solution. Awesome! :0) xytroxon - I go forward w/ your sage advice as my new mantra. The dolist / if / begin /etc template in now in me! Thanks for that! It ...

Hi, I seem to be missing a basic understanding of what a list is. I am following cormullion 's "Building a list" example here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_to_newLISP/print#Building_lists where he says: (set 'vowels '("a" "e" "i" "o" "u")) ;-> ("a" "e" "i" "o" "u") ; an unevaluated list...

Kickin!

Thanks Patrick and cormullion! Im on the move again!

Both are superb examples and really teach a lot! Much appreciated again! :0)

I have almost gotten this on my own, but am stumped. I am after a list of the words occurring two or more times in 'title-words, that are "good", sorted by frequency (high to low). Here I try: #/usr/local/bin/newlisp ; my list of words: (set 'title-words '("one" "two" "two" "three" "three" "three" "...

Does #!/usr/bin/newlisp refer to the correct path in your newLISP installation?

doh!

I changed it to /usr/local/bin/newlisp and corrected my module loading to this:
and Im cookin again! Thanks very much, Lutz! Wont make that mistake again.

No longer cookin, newLISP v.10.3.3 on Linux IPv4/6 UTF-8 on Debian Squeeze i686 GNU/Linux. I launched the newLISP server with this: newlisp -http -d 8088 -w /home/joe/nl Inside my /home/joe/nl directory I have this file: -rwxr-xr-x 1 joe joe 334 May 23 18:15 index.cgi with this code: #!/usr/bin/newl...

Most excellent!

That is the magic regex of 4+ characters! :0)

Thanks very much Lutz and I will study the slight differences in your regexes.

Very much appreciated and thanks again!

xytroxon, major thanks on using set, setq and setf properly! got it!

cormullion, thanks for the parse guidance because i will be using that a lot! ;0)

Thanks xytroxon and bairui ! I appreciate the examples and now understand how to use them. Two things - I tried both examples with this string (containing random non letter/number characters): (setq input (parse "! @ # $$$ *- a bb ccc dddd eeeee ffffff")) (println input) (define (small? x) (< (lengt...

Hi - I would like to know how to do one thing, please. I would like to know how to remove string elements which are less than 4 characters long from my string. (By characters, i mean letters, numbers, !/#/$//,/'/;/:/etc). For example: If my string is this: ("a bb ccc dddd eeeee ffffff") I would like...

cormullion,

To the rescue, in character, thank you!

I see now how to get data out of a dolist loop and similarly now know how to wield the incredibly useful format function.

Many big thanks for that!

On further request on this, if I may: I have a list which contains a lot of texts like the large one above, all similar. What is my best approach on extracting the same item information out of each item in the list, but keeping it associated with the same item? I want to create an xpath file, so tha...

m i c h a e l -

it sure does! i gotta remember KISS when i tackle regexes. :0)

thanks big friend!

Ive tried for last three hours to get this one. :0) I *am* able to get a regex to work with this: find-all {<title>([^.]+)<\/title>} on the xml code below, but I tried this (and about 60 other iterations): find-all {<item>([^.]+)<\/item>} to get the entire value of the text between the <item> and </...

I am not sure if your interests are covered here:

http://static.artfulcode.net/newlisp/web.lsp.html
http://static.artfulcode.net/newlisp/index.html

I think it covers sessions, which might help your auth's.

Other people know much more than I and will probably chime in too. ;0)

Thanks again Cormullion!

I appreciate the guidance, always.

cormullion, thanks! With your notes, I managed to get at what I was after with this: (set 'the-source (get-url "http://nukene.ws/headlines")) (replace {<h2>(.+)<\/h2>} the-source (push $1 images-list -1) 0) (println images-list) Im getting strange characters, that I guess are complex text character...

Tried this too:

Hi - I am using Cormullion's beautiful Intro to nL example: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_to_newLISP/The_Internet#Accessing_web_pages He shows: (set 'the-source (get-url "http://www.apple.com")) (replace {src="(http\S*?jpg)"} the-source (push $1 images-list -1) 0) (println images-list) a...

I forgot to mention the YouTube api documentation:

Cormullion, I can cover the video conversion settings if you can orchestrate the script. Thanks!

Hi - If there were a separate forum for requesting paid coding service, I would use it for this post. I would like to receive bids on a newLISP script described here: Essentially, the script would load a web page periodically in firefox, begin a video caputure of the web page (without any toolbars o...
