regex variable pattern

[Grundle]

I was wondering if it is possible to use a variable for a pattern in a regex.  My code looks something like the following.

Code Select Expand


(set 'var1 (pop some-stack))

(if (find var1 var2 0)
     ;continue execution here
)


Obviously this doesn't work, but hopeful explains what I am trying to do.

Yes, of  course this would work, just like you wrote it!



You can use variables anywhere in newLISP.

Yes you are right, and in fact I was doing the following.

Code Select Expand


(if (not (find (rest tag) s-tag 0))


The problem of course is that I put a quote before s-tag

Code Select Expand

's-tag

which of course will ruin everything.  It turns out to be something of an embarrassing oversite
