Hey, it's a Lisp! You can use almost any syntax you want. How about %1, %2, %3: (defn re-do [f regex input] (apply f (rest (re-find regex input)))) (re-do #(do-stuff-with %3 %1 %2) regex input) Or even (defmacro re-let [names regex input & body] `(let [[_ ~@names] (re-find ~regex ~input)] ~@body)) (re-let [year month day] date-regex line (do-something-with year month day)) This one doesn't even have the bug that gaz jones's let has. ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
