Might it be possible to use a map instead? Maps are designed to look values up by a key which may differ from the value, which seems to be your use case here.
If you have {1 {:id 1, :foo "bar"}, 2 {:id 2, :foo "car"}} You can just do (disj my-map 2) To convert the original set into a map, you could do something like: (into {} (map (juxt :id identity) my-set)) Phil On Mar 23, 2012 2:59 AM, "Leandro Oliveira" <lolive...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have a set of hash like this: > > #{{:id 1, :foo "bar"} {:id 2, :foo "car"}} > > and I'd like to remove an item based on its id value. > > Unfortunately, disj requires that I pass the whole map as key to remove it. > > Can I remove the map from the set only using the id? > > My intention is to avoid a lookup on set to get the whole map back. > > Any suggestions? > > > Thanks in advance. > leandro. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Clojure" group. > To post to this group, send email to clojure@googlegroups.com > Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your first post. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/clojure?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
