I'm getting a segmentation fault on
(map (fn (x) (remove "n" (read-file x))) fnames)
If I leave out the (remove I don't get the segmentation fault. Some of the files have "r" and some don't.

'remove' can only be used on lists. (read-file x) returns a string. Use 'replace' instead to remove 'r' in your files.
Of course 'remove' should not bomb on a wrong arg-type, this is fixed in development version 7.3.10 now available in the development directory:

I wonder if (replace could replace (remove ?
Eddie
how would you do this syntactically? nil or () as a replacement expressions wouldn't work, replace would plug in a nil or a (), while for empty strings it is fine with "". Of course one could do:
(while (set 'pos (find exp lst)) (pop lst pos))
as a replacement for 'remove'?
Or another idea would be, if the replacement expression is missing, than 'replace' works like remove? and this would also work for strings?
Lutz
Just checked the last suggestion: 'replace' with out replacement expression works like 'remove', in the code and it would be pretty easy to implement. After throwing the old 'replace' away, this would save a little bit of code.
