C-h f is your friend. It tells you that (nth N LIST) returns the Nth element of LIST (starting counting from zero). In Emacs Lisp there is no difference between numbers and characters, so the debugger helpfully displays the character for a number and vice versa. string-match does regular expression matching, and match-string can be used after string-match to find out which part of the string matched the regular expression. kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis) _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.freesoftware.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
