It's the XML returned by Twitter when making requests through their API. I've changed nothing; that is a cut 'n paste.

Using (xml-parse) on the above XML, what would be the best way to extract a single TEXT from the ELEMENT "screen_name"? Suppose that a list of users was used in place of the above single user; how would you guys go about populating another list with only the screen names?



Thanks for the help.

QuotenewLISP: Tricking software developers into thinking they're creative


This one came to me after my fourth 'genius' slogan, when the reality of my creative ability (or lack thereof) settled in. Moral of this story: Just because I can do X in newLISP doesn't mean I'm a Grade A marketing pro; despite what I'd like to believe.

Quote from: "Ken (commenter)"The thing I love about the Lisp community is that whether you're a Common Lisper, a Schemer, or even an Arcer, we can all get together and make fun of how much newLISP sucks. :-)


newLISP is clearly being attacked, but even so, the post contains little, if any, real substance. Ironic, almost.
