Hi Steve,

Can you tell what basic string functions are available in links?
is a string seen as a list of characters in links? if that is the case
i need to make a list of lists as the final output.
so are the list functions operable on strings??

regards
ravi

I created my own string splitting function by using a recursive function.
It is possible to do and should be a nice programming task :)

If you have any more specific questions feel free to ask.

      Hi,
      I get a string like "((fred) and (barney)) or (fred)". I need
      to split this into individual words
      "fred","and","barney","or","fred2 . I was not able to make
      out how to go about in links. Any functions to do such string
      splitting?

      thanks and regards

            Links has a few functions that operate on lists
            which you might find
            useful in implementing your own function that
            returns a boolean value for
            whether a particular element exists. I would
            suggest looking at the
            search() and isJust() functions on this page:

                  Hi,

                  I am trying to implement the duplicate
            removal for a list.
                  I want to check if the head of list is
            contained in the tail
                  of the list.
                  So i need a function which returns a
            boolean value suggesting
                  whether tail contains the head or not. Is
            there any function
                  to see if the given element is contained in
            a list?

                  Thanks and Regards
                  Ravi

                        Nope, I don't think we have those.
            Looks like
                        another fun programming task for you!
