[Edit]
Sorry, I have isolated the real problem to sometimes "$?upper" is a empty
multislot.
Question: how can I do a test to ensure that if (upper-match) is not a empty
slot, then print (upper-match)
Does $? means anything, including null? How to do a check for a empty
multislot
(defrule print-rule2
(body-muscle (upper-match $?upper) (lower-match $?lower))
(test (neq $?upper null ))
(test (neq $?lower null))
=>
(printout t "upper is not empty" $?upper)
(printout t "lower is not empty" $?lower))
Please ignore the post below
sorry,
Rick

Hi,
This might sound weird but how do I convert a Jess multislot list into a
Jess string, inside Jess?
Its hard for me to explain but I need it to make the following method work.
"upper" needs to be replaced by $?upper
"lower" needs to be replaced by $?lower
But if I replace it as it is, the output is wrong. So I need to convert
$?upper into a string 1st, then replace the "lower" with the string.
Question: How do I convert $?upper into a string? And bind it to some ?name.
thanks n rgds
Rick
