This information is crucial to get help. "Lisp" is not one language, but the one people have a right to assume in the absence of antyhing else you mean is Common Lisp. If you do know about the default, it is not an error to overspecify. | What I'm trying to do is comparing a String and a Symbol. In Common Lisp, this works because a symbol is a string designator. I.e., when you use a symbol in a string "context", what you get is really (symbol-name symbol). This may not be true for other Lisp, so you may have to make that function call explicitly. | And then my idea is removing quotes " " from Name1, or adding them to | Name2... I hope you have made one of those changes at a time. /// -- The past is not more important than the future, despite what your culture has taught you.
