Re: [Audacity-nyquist] An XLISP/Nyquist punctuation question

Hi Edgar,

Thanks very much for your suggestions, one of them works as I wanted, see 
below. The string-to-list function can be seen at

http://www.shellworld.net/~davidsky/useful-x.htm#string-to-list

T
> (setf x (string-to-list "Hello\, there"))
(HELLO (COMMA THERE))
> 
; Trying the second method
(setf x (string-to-list "Hello|,| there"))
(|HELLO,| THERE)
> (setf y (string (first x)))
"HELLO,"
> 
; That works better!
(dribble)
