Hi List,
related to the nice idea of publishing the Rosettacode examples (which
would actually be nicer _with_ the task descriptions included) I have a
few (probably rather newbie) technical questions about manipulating the
file-system and processing text in PicoLisp:
1. How to make, concat,
Hi Thorsten.
Below I've pasted links to descriptions of functions that might or might
not be what you want based on a quick glance on your questions:
1.) http://software-lab.de/doc/refC.html#call
2.) http://software-lab.de/doc/refM.html#match
3.) I don't really get this one, isn't it possible

Hi Alex,
thanks a lot, thats what I needed to know, now I have to give it a try.
3. Is it possible to use 'prog' or 'let' with 'apply', i.e. apply a
whole sequence of functions instead of only one to the 'lst argument?
I'm not sure what you
Hi Alex,
For quite some time I've felt that the ref. documentation for the 'for'
forms could need some improvements. The 'for' function is a very
important function, and for most people who are new to PicoLisp, it will
be one of the first functions they will have to learn. At the same time,

Very true!
What I've done is (a) inserted a few br line breaks so that the
descriptions of the three forms are separated, and so that it will

Hi List,
I have a rather strange problem:
I want to (from within Emacs)
,--

and it seems PicoLisp just freezes - no error messages, but no output
either, and the process
Hi Thorsten,
Is there something like an upper limit for how many Strings can be in a
list in PicoLisp? Or might that be Emacs related?
No, there is no limit. Neither to the length of the command line (if you
use the built-in line editor).
How did you invoke PicoLisp? Does this also happen if

For making files where you will usually use 'out', and write directly to
the file.
To concat two files, you could do:
(out c (in a (echo)) (in b (echo)))
Erasing a file is not implemented as a PicoLisp function. You can simply
call 'rm'

Hi Alex,
You said that you call it as
(setq X (list string1 ... string200))
Note that this evaluates the transient symbols string1 etc., so if one
of them has a value NIL (or anything else), it will be included in the
list.

AFAIK out doesn't do auto dir creation or any dir creation for that matter.
Looks good but the cd thing should not be necessary, just use the absolute
path in the last call.
Note that you can use info to check stuff, could possibly be used in a
function that checks a certain path from top to

Hi Thorsten,
Is there a way to make 'out' write directories too?
No, 'out' just creates or opens a file for writing.
Or do I have to use something like

Yes. But this works only if /new/ already exists. If
