No, that works, although there are is someting strange happening too: some of the strings in the list are replaces by NIL, and it seems as if the '\' that signals a linebreak in an Emacs buffer is somehow misinterpreted as an escaping backslash ,------------------------------------------------------------------------ | "wiki/Binary_strings" "wiki/Bitmap" | "wiki/Bitmap/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm" | "wiki/Bitmap/B%C3%A9zier_curves/Cubic" | "wiki/Bitmap/B%C3%A9zier_curves/Quadratic" "wiki/Bitmap/Flood_fill" | "wiki/Bitmap/Histogram" "wiki/Bitmap/Midpoint_circle_algorithm" | "wiki/Bitmap/PPM_conversion_through_a_pipe" | "wiki/Bitmap/Read_a_PPM_file" | "wiki/Bitmap/Read_an_image_through_a_pipe" | "wiki/Bitmap/Write_a_PPM_file" "wiki/Bitwise_IO" | "wiki/Bitwise_operations" "wiki/Boolean_values" "wiki/Box_the_compass" | "wiki/Break_OO_privacy" "wiki/Brownian_tree" "wiki/Bulls_and_cows" | "wiki/Bulls_and_cows/Player" "wiki/Caesar_cipher" "wiki/Calendar" | "wiki/Calendar_-_for_%22real%22_programmers" | "wiki/Call_a_foreign-language_function" "wiki/Call_a_function" | "wiki/Call_a_function_in_a_shared_library" "wiki/Call_an_object_method" | "wiki/Case-sensitivity_of_identifiers" "wiki/Catalan_numbers" | "wiki/Character_codes" "wiki/Character_matching" "wiki/Chat_server" | "wiki/Checkpoint_synchronization" "wiki/Chess_player" | "wiki/Chess_player/PicoLisp" `------------------------------------------------------------------------ becomes ,---------------------------------------------------------------------- | "wiki/Binary_strings" "wiki/Bitmap" | "wiki/Bitmap/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm\" " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " | NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " | " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL | " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " " NIL " | \"wiki/Chat_server" "wiki/Checkpoint_synchronization" | "wiki/Chess_player" "wiki/Chess_player/PicoLisp" `---------------------------------------------------------------------- So it looks more like an Emacs (PicoLisp mode) related problem. -- cheers, Thorsten -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
