How to modify the program under example ? let output sting print "test"

   oldCell ="test"
   printf("input : %s\n" oldCell)
   deviceMapList='((oldCell (newTlib newCell)))
   deviceTable=makeTable("deviceTable")
   foreach(dev deviceMapList
      deviceTable[car(dev)]=cadr(dev)
      printf("output : %s\n" car(dev))
   )
)

    The simplest is probably to use the backquote operator, which allows you to selectively evaluate the list:

       deviceMapList=`((,oldCell (newTlib newCell)))

    Does that help? You could use the list() function to construct it too:

       deviceMapList=list(list(oldCell '(newTlib newCell)))

    Whichever is simplest for you...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
