Subject: Trouble setting a variable to a list
Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2014 19:33:18 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f1f78318-871f-4e08-aff5-0a1d3e1623fd@googlegroups.com> (raw)
I tried to set the following variable to a list of strings....
(setq buffers-to-skip
'("*scratch*", "*Messages*", "*Echo Area 0*", "*Echo Area 1*",
"*Minibuf-0*", "*Minibuf-1*", "*Buffer List*"))
When I tried to use it and debug the problem I saw the list looked like this...
("*scratch*"
(\, "*Messages*")
(\, "*Echo Area 0*")
(\, "*Echo Area 1*")
(\, "*Minibuf-0*")
(\, "*Minibuf-1*")
(\, "*Buffer List*"))
Why the \'s showed up?
