[cl-who-devel] Building a table from a list of strings - Can't seem to get it right
by Bryan Emrys 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Looking at the checkerboard-like example in the docs and trying to figure out how to get a table from a list of strings. Assume a list of 50 strings and I want to get them into a table that is 5 cells wide and 10 high. I can't seem to get the loop(s) right with the rows. I can do this without cl-who, but there should be an obvious method that I'm missing to be able to do this with cl-who. I apparently don't know enough loop-fu. Any pointers would be appreciated.

[cl-who-devel] str and esc inconsistency (suggestion)
by Jan Rychter 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

I have a suggestion for CL-WHO. Currently, you can't just replace str with esc in your code, because while str does a princ, esc expects a string. I have code that passes numbers to str and wanted to do a wholesale replacement. The manual says: str: Forms that look like (str form1 form*) will be substituted with (let ((result form1)) (when result (princ result s))) esc: Forms that look like (esc form1 form*) will be substituted with (let ((result form1)) (when result (write-string (escape-string result s)))). I would suggest improving esc by performing a princ if the first argument is not a string. --J.
