Using 'split-with' from core seems handy here: clojure.core/split-with ([pred coll]) Returns a vector of [(take-while pred coll) (drop-while pred coll)] So here's another option: (defn replace-first [a b coll] (let [[head tail] (split-with #(not= a %) coll)] (concat head (when (seq tail) (cons b (rest tail)))))) -Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
