It's missing a couple of closing parens, but assuming that the opening parens describe the situation correctly, the following should work: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq s '((#("test" 0 2 (fontified nil org-category "i-contacts"))))) (substring-no-properties (caar s)) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The caar gets to the string-with-properties and the substring-no-properties gets the string, discarding the properties. -- Nick
