Topic: How do I set a variable to "Nothing"

[CAB]

Looking at this:

Code: [Select]

(setq ConNames (strcat (apply 'strcat ConList) "_")) ;to be stored for the StrPath function
Should it be this?

Code: [Select]

(setq ConNames (apply 'strcat (mapcar '(lambda (x) (strcat x "_" ))ConList)))
not sure what result you are looking for.

Hey it works.

Because it's in the wrong place.

  OH the program was jumping off the side of Ship. It reminds me when I was navy shipwelder and they sent a bunch of us to a introduction class on computers.  They explained to us in "welders terms" of how a computer thinks, "be careful of what instructions you give to a computer or it will jump ship".

Code: [Select]

(mapcar '(lambda (x) (strcat x "_" ))ConList)))

Exposing me to that Greek stuff again aren't you?


This is giving me what I need "now".  I need to place a  separator between CONNAMES and the OLDNAME.  However by doing this way, will it give me problems done the road?  I don't know.  Will it? 

Code: [Select]

(setq ConNames (strcat (apply 'strcat ConList) "_")) ;to be stored for the StrPath functionCONLIST = ("BSE" "BEI")
CONNAMES = "BSEBEI_"
OLDNAME = "Floor-Base.dwg"
DCL_ID = 10
NEWFILE = "M:\\.......\\Transfer-Outgoing\\04-19-06_BSEBEI_Floor-Base.dwg"

Code: [Select]

If the resulting file name is what you want then it looks fine to me.
