I'm trying to refactor one particular piece of code, and have no idea what, if any, core functions, would work. I want to filter a list of hashes, based on some of the values - (code topside) I have come up with a few variations of the code, with reduce, etc - but they all use an anonyous function. The only options I can figure, using filter or reduce, require a variable to represent each list element, which means an anon-function with a parameter. Thanks. Okay, I now have two questions - why does the code-highlighter insist on putting the code at the top, instead of in the middle, where I had the cursor? :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
