Yep. That works.
Many thanks...

I believe you need to use
(length$ <multifield-expression>)
and then do a test to compare the two lengths. so the rule might
look like this
(defrule myrule
(foo
(my-list ?list1)
)
(foo
(my-list ?list2)
)
(test (eq (length$ ?list1) (length$ ?list2) ) )
=>
(printout t "the lists have the same length)
)
that's how I've done it in the past. there might be an easier way.

I've been struggling with trying to formulate a LHS which tries to
match the length of one of the fact's multislots with another slot.
For example:
(deftemplate foo (multislot my-list) (slot desired))
I've tried the following:
(foo (my-list ?my-list) (desired = (length$ ?my-list))
(foo { desired == (length$ my-list) } )
(foo (my-list ?my-list { desired == (length$ ?my-list) } )
And even though desired is 0 and the length of the list is 0, the rule
simply won't fire. Obviously, I'm missing something....
