[racket] unwrapping a list
Is there a way to unwrap or explode a list? I don't see it in the docs, but it
seems like it would be a common thing.
This is what I want to do:
(define-values (year month day)
(regexp-split #rx"/" "2012/06/06"))
But regexp-split returns a list, not values, so I'd like to "unwrap" the list
and just have the values...
I can do it manually:
(define tmp (regexp-split #rx"/" "2012/06/06"))
(define year (first tmp))
(define month (second tmp))
(define day (third tmp))
But thats ugly.
Being able to
(let ([year month day (regexp-split #rx"/" "2012/06/06")])
)
Would be handy too...
