<div dir="ltr"> <style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }</style> Is it practical or possible to replace any series of chars using list functions instead of using string functions such as regexp-replace? I can remove from an apple, a peel, with a knife. I can remove from an orange, a peel, with the same knife. However, I can remove from a string, any series of characters with a function. I cannot remove from a list, any series of characters with the same function. Any suggestions? I can edit a file using string fns such as regexp-replace. I have used list function: read-words/line. Your advice?Thanks.Don Green </div>
