Hi Alex
: (filter prog2 (1 a 2 b 3 c) '(T NIL .))
-> (1 2 3)
: (filter prog2 (1 a 2 b 3 c) '(NIL T .))
-> (a b c)
Yes the above is exactly what I'm after.
I copied this drop example straight from ninety nine....
? P16 (**) Drop every N'th element from a list.
: (drop '(a b c d e f g h i k) 3)
!? (drop '(a b c d e f g h i k) 3)
drop -- Undefined
I'm not sure why I'm getting "undefined".
I'm using the pil in my picolisp directory.... which looks like this....
exec ${0%/*}/bin/picolisp ${0%/*}/lib.l @ext.l "$@"
i.e. not the one in /bin which contains /usr,,,, which I think ISN'T local
and I think I compiled a local version.
Irrespective....thank you very much for your solution.
Best Regards Dean
