GNU Emacs 19.34.1 and XEmacs 21.4.6 at least have 'regexp-quote' so you can define substringp like this: (defun substringp (little big) (not (not (string-match (regexp-quote little) big)))) (substringp "foo$()" "barfoo$()") => t But not without regexps. -- Sam Mikes [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
