Re: Assign a list as symbols property list

2013-06-02 Thread Alexander Burger 
Hi Thorsten,

 When I already have property list like 
 
 ,--
 | ((key1 . value1) (key2 . value2) ... (keyn . valuen))
 `--

Note that the list has the cons pair elements reversed:

   ((value1 . key1) (value2 . key2) ... (valuen . keyn))



 and want to assign the whole thing as a symbols property list - how do I
 do that (without setting every single key/value pair with 'put')?

This can be done with 'putl'.

I see, fortunately my real list has the right order ...

I knew that there must be a function for this ... thanks

Assign a list as symbols property list

Hi List, 

probably a rather newbie question:

When I already have property list like 

,--

`--
 
and want to assign the whole thing as a symbols property list - how do I
