How to remove parentheses of a string or list

MaximSubhash

Hi,

I am looking for an inbuilt SKILL function which removes the parentheses.

For example:

var='(Maxim IC)

When I print this : print(var) result would be -> (Maxim IC). But I want to display as -> Maxim IC

Can anyone please suggest any function which does that.

Regards,

Subhash, Maxim-IC, India

     If the list contains something more than strings or symbols, you cannot use buildString without getting an error. Here is a quick way to do it that eliminates quotes around strings as well.

    foreach( entry var
        if(symstrp(entry) then
           printf( "%s" entry )
        else
          printf( "%L" entry )
    )

     This will only work with single level lists, you could make a function that calls itself (recursive function) to process hierarchical lists.
