Subject: match regexp to list elements
Date: Sat, 22 May 2010 08:32:22 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2f8ed563-c6c6-4ed5-8f2f-99f0c6213f22@i31g2000vbt.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Hi all, I want to locate all elements of a list that match a regexp.
Say I want to write the function match-list-regexp such as if
my-list = '(a1 b2 a3 b4)
then
(match-list-regexp "a[0-9]" my-list)
should give '(0 2)
I though I could use function string-match but I need a way of
converting the elements of a list into strings. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Evan.
