Sorting a list or string

Post by joejoe »

Hi and thanks!

Code: Select all

(set 'word (join titles " "))
(set 'words (find-all {\w{5,}} word))
(set 'worder (lower-case (string words)))
(println (sort worder))

ERR: list or array expected in function sort : worder
worder looks similar to this: ("one" "two" "three")

How would I best sort this?

Thanks very much for help!

Hello!
Please provide a valid content for the symbol titles, and what output you expect from that given data.
Your code does not work at all ;)

You might have meant the third line be

Code: Select all

(set 'worder (map lower-case words))

It's kind of tedious. I hope everything is alright with joejoe...
;)

One can only guess if you don't get any feedback.

Ralph, you always bat cleanup around here. Thank you!
