If i understood it correctly he wants to get all groups of number. "35f79" -> (35 79) Am 16.12.2016 09:28 schrieb "Joe Bogner" : > how about > > : (extract format (chop 'ab33Cd)) > -> (3 3) > > or > > : (format (pack (extract format (chop 'ab33Cd > -> 33 > > > On Thu,

This is probably better: : (extract format (split (mapcar format (chop "35fabc79")) NIL)) -> (35 79) On Thu, Dec 15, 2016 at 7:57 PM, Joe Bogner wrote: > OK, how about this this? > > : (mapcar format (extract pack (split (mapcar format (chop "35fabc79")) > NIL))) > ->

Re: help extracting number from string

OK, how about this this? : (mapcar format (extract pack (split (mapcar format (chop "35fabc79")) NIL))) -> (35 79) : (mapcar format (extract pack (split (mapcar format (chop "35f79")) NIL))) -> (35 79) On Thu, Dec 15, 2016 at 7:36 PM, Joh-Tob Schäg wrote: > If i

help extracting number from string

I've seen num? and chop but think I need something in the middle to turn a character to a number. Having said that I seem to have got close by accident...i.e. I was going to try and bend this...but it found a single integer as it was :) : (pick '((Ch) (and (= Ch (uppc Ch)) Ch)) (chop 'ab33Cd))

Re: help extracting number from string

I am just telling you pick can not help you here. In this case just write a coroutine. You can handle different reading modes (numbers vs strings) in there easily. Am 16.12.2016 06:24 schrieb "dean" : > I've seen num? and chop but think I need something in the middle to

Discrepancies in lib/misc.l between picoLisp and miniPicoLisp

Hi, Trying to port tests to miniPicoLisp I needed to copy some definitions from lib/misc.l from pico to mini, and this is what I found: 1) Many definitions don't appear in pico. Is it intented ? If so, why ? 2) Discrepancy in the $dat implementation: mini (format (pack (car S)))
