Help needed on your soundex example

Hi Alex, just started on the "Soundex Matching" example here: http://pleac.sourceforge.net/pleac_picolisp/strings.html It looks like a nice program, however, it doen't state what kind of input it expects :) I know about soundex, but my current knowledge of PicoLisp is not yet advanced enough. P

Re: Wiki progress update ...

Hi Alex, thx. for taking time to check!!! I corrected those points you mention. Thx. to you too :) Because I now just try to do this stuff fast, I only have a bit of time to look at functions in more detail. I really am impressed by the many useful functions. Also nice that strings and symbols

Re: Help needed on your soundex example

Hi Alex, ah, OK!! Well, then this might be a better show off: : (soundex "Smith") -> "S530" : (soundex "Smithe") -> "S530" : (soundex "Smyithe") -> "S530" because that shows what soundex is really about, don't you think?! Also, the soundex algorith is really dependent on the language used. E.g

Re: Help needed on your soundex example

Hi Alex, since I notice that getpwent seems to disbehave under Windows WSL I'll leave the following out if you agree: (let (User (clip (in NIL (line T))) Code (soundex User)) (while (native "@" "getpwent" '(S S I I S S S)) # 'native' only in 64-bits (let Lst @ (when (or (= Code

Another question on PLEAC docs

Hi Alex, the results of the functions below do not reflect the common outcomes in math AFAICT. But maybe you had other intentions? E.G.: : (deg2rad 90) -> 2 Result 2 where I expected something like 1.5707963268. Any ideas? /Arie Doing Trigonometry in Degrees, not Radians #--

PicoLisp library docs

Hi, in the PLEAC docs there are a few references to functions in separate libraries. Are those library functions referenced somewhere on the web? With that I mean like this: https://software-lab.de/doc/ref.html#fun I'd like to have links to those if possible. If those reference do not exist, the
