I was wondering if it is possible to use a variable for a pattern in a regex. My code looks something like the following.
Code: Select all
(set 'var1 (pop some-stack))
(if (find var1 var2 0)
;continue execution here
)
Obviously this doesn't work, but hopeful explains what I am trying to do.

Yes, of course this would work, just like you wrote it!
You can use variables anywhere in newLISP.

Yes you are right, and in fact I was doing the following.
Code: Select all
(if (not (find (rest tag) s-tag 0))
The problem of course is that I put a quote before s-tag
which of course will ruin everything. It turns out to be something of an embarrassing oversite
:D
