Help: Searching part of string in list

frasheed over 11 years ago

Hey,

Can anyone give me hint to serach part of string in list.

Example:

partName = "newStar"

fullNames = '("oldStarwork" "newStarWork" "loadStar" "halfStarwork")

if Icheck it with member(partName fullNames) then will return nil but I want "newStarWork" as answer, I read the documenattion there is only member and memq functions are deifned for seraching lists . I looke the function recmatchp but its jist for symbol or strings and I have list (fullNames)

    case(instTerm~>name
      (rexMatchp("g" instTerm~>name)
        dbSetq(instTerm "G" fix)
       )
   ); case
Case is the wrong function to use, try cond. Case evaluates its first argument and then checks for the block designated by the matched string/integer.
Cond executes each condition (like an if/then/elif/else in other languages) and executes the block for the first condition that returns true.
   cond(
      (rexMatchp("g" instTerm~>name)
;; Fix the g terminals
        dbSetq(instTerm "G" fix)
       )

      (rexMatchp("s" instTerm~>name)
;; fix the s terminals
        dbSetq(instTerm "S" fix)
       )
   ); cond
And you might want to better qualify your search, what begins with "g" is "^g"
