How to convert '() to list()

WTony over 6 years ago

Hi,

I would like to convert a list from no evaluation to evaluated list. h ow can I do that.

my code is :

yhwDrDefinePacket = list(
;( DisplayName PacketName                   Stipple    LineStyle Fill       Outline    [FillStyle])
'( display      M1_drawing                   metal1S    solid      blue       blue       outlineStipple)
'( display      M1_label                     blank      solid      blue       blue       outlineStipple)
'( display      M1_pin                       X          thickLin2 blue       blue       X         )
)

foreach(yhwPacket yhwDrDefinePacket
if(drFindPacket("display" pcExprToString(nthelem(2 yhwPacket))) then
drSetPacket(yhwPacket)
)
)

when I run the code, it show the error below:

*Error* drSetPacket: too few arguments (at least 6 expected, 1 given) - ((display M1_drawing metal1S solid blue ... ))

So instead of passing 7 arguments, it pass just 1 arguments

Thanks for any help

Tony,

I think you need:

foreach(yhwPacket yhwDrDefinePacket
if(drFindPacket("display" pcExprToString(nthelem(2 yhwPacket))) then
apply('drSetPacket mapcar('symbolToString yhwPacket))
)
)

The apply line calls the drSetPacket with the list members as individual arguments. Because they are symbols not strings, the mapcar transforms each argument in your lines above into a string.

Andrew.
