Actually, I didn't like what I wrote, here is a slightly better code: (use-modules (ice-9 match)) (define (blue-walk blue proc) (let loop ((blue blue) (result '())) (match blue ((a . rest) (if (pair? a) (loop rest (cons (proc a) result)) (reverse! (cons a result)))) (() (reverse! result))))) It solves the above note (it avoids to have to know how many elements the last pair has), and also let you process both 'your' structure and the 'cleaner' one: (define blue (cons '(a b c) (cons '(1 2 3) '(x y z)))) (define fox (cons '(a b c) (cons '(1 2 3) (cons '(x y z) '())))) scheme@(guile-user)> (load "blue.scm") ;;; note: source file /usr/alto/projects/guile/blue.scm ;;; newer than ... scheme@(guile-user)> (blue-walk fox car) $2 = (a 1 x) scheme@(guile-user)> (blue-walk blue car) $3 = (a 1 x) Cheers, David
