Looking good David,

[ScribbleJ]

Very nice job! I have long been an Afralisp visitor. I had no idea it was about to tank. It is nice to see you saved it because it is a great resource for anyone learning LISP.

 

Thanks for doing a good job and keeping it alive.

A bit of publicity...

David - Just one suggestion - Is it posssible to make an option so that searches are made with only the Afralisp site?

Apart from that awesome job mate!

That's a good point. Unfortunately, it's either one thing or the other - no way to add the option. I just thought that there was so much useful stuff on this site that those searching on a topic may benefit but I guess it could be confusing. I'll have a think about that. Thanks

Looking at todays tip of the day:

 

Converting Strings to Uppercase

There are many occasions when you'll need to convert a string variable to uppercase, especially when you've requested a response and need to test it. It's much easier to test it against all-uppercase than to try to test for every combination of uppercase and lowercase. The command for the conversion is (strcase) :

 

(setq uc (strcase t))

 

This converts the value of the string variable t to uppercase and assigns the new value to the variable uc.

 

 

Bad programing example, not only because you shouldn't use T as a variable but because that is one of the arguments for strcase.

 

Maybe this tip can be updated?

Maybe this tip can be updated?

 

It sure can and it's done. Thanks for spotting that one.

I still think that middle section looks like an advertisement. *lol* My initial reaction is to just skip over reading it every time i open the page.
