Can you use a more descriptive name for 'car2'. 'car' has the LISPish notion of being the first of a list. 'car2' above doesn't have any such notion. One name could be 'm4_force' to force a safe expansion (and it has a nice correspondence to its LISP/Scheme counterpart delay/force). > m4_define([_m4_foreach], > [m4_if(m4_quote($2), [], [], > [m4_define([$1], [m4_car($2)])$3[]_m4_foreach([$1], > - [m4_shift($2)], > + m4_car2(m4_shift($2)), > [$3])])]) - Hari -- Raja R Harinath ------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] "When all else fails, read the instructions." -- Cahn's Axiom "Our policy is, when in doubt, do the right thing." -- Roy L Ash
