map trim command on list members

[vetelko]

Hi guys,



how can I map trim command to list members?

say I have list like this:

Code Select Expand

(set 'lst '("a." "b " "c"))
and I want to trim dot character trying this construct:

Code Select Expand

(set 'lst2 (map (curry trim {.}) lst))
but it doesn't work, output is:

Code Select Expand

("." "." ".")

If you try it out by hand, as in

Code Select Expand

> (curry trim ".")
(lambda ($x) (trim "." $x)) you see that the curried function is not exactly what you want.

You rather need to use a function like

Code Select Expand

(fn ($x) (trim $x ".")) instead; there's no abbreviation macro for that order of arguments.
