I have read the examples of "string to list" procedures and after I have
found a working procedure for transforming strings to lists. But how can
I write a procedure with this result (I call it "compress" because this
is the name in the Lisp I was using before, Cambridge Lisp)?
>(compress '(a b c d))
>abcd
I absolutely need this procedure because (I think) it is not possible to
use (or at least would it be difficult) lists as property names. I need
to convert parts of lists into property names.
Thank you very much.
I am working now with Allegro Cl (trial version).
