Hi Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I would like to be able to assert a fact, and then retract it, without having to know the fact-id. I am using v6.0 To give a concrete example, if I declare a fact: Jess> (assert (a)) ==> f-0 (MAIN::a) <Fact-0> I can retract it: Jess> (retract 0) <== f-0 (MAIN::a) TRUE Jess> But I do not want to have to know that fact 'a' is number 0. As I understand it, I should be able to use the retract-string (I confess I havn't looked at the java code, just at the function list), so that I can retract a fact by name, rather than by it's fact-id. Something like: (retract-string a) or (retract-string 'a') or (retract-string (a)). Yet all of these appear to be incorrect syntax. Am I just not using the correct syntax, or is this related to problems with the Jess parser mentioned in the release notes?
