I think you're looking for cond (from memory, syntax might be wrong): (defn parse-group [group-identifier line] (cond (= group-identitifer "ID1") (handle-id1 line) ... :else (do-something))) etc (doc cond) will give you what you need I think bill > (defn parse-group [group-identifier line] > (when (= group-identifier "ID1") > (handle-id1 line)) > (when (= group-identifier "ID2") > (handle-id2 line)) > (when (= group-identifier "ID3") > (handle-id3 line))) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
