how do you want to add 1 (integer) to string "A-12345" ?
not +1 but 1+
convert string to number first and then add 1.

Strange though. The consp means the function expects a list (not a number), like in the result of using the cons function. Is the +1 function some custom function in your system perhaps?

Both the + and the 1+ would give you an error of:

Code: [Select]

Command: (1+ "A-12345")
; error: bad argument type: numberp: "A-12345"
Command: (+ 1 "A-12345")
; error: bad argument type: numberp: "A-12345"Notice: numberp, not consp.

is such as cases, Is there a way to delete characters from string and keep numbers before convert to real/int?

got it all sorted out.

the + 1 is just the math part, im adding 1 to the number.
 i totally ignored that it was a list that i converted to a string to add 1.
 i had to convert it to an integer to add 1, then convert it to list.
 instead of converting it to a list i was converting it to a string when the code was looking for a list.

thanks for everyones replies.
