Why would you even start with a string then instead of reading a list in the first place? You can use something like (with-input-from-string (string-append "( " "-3 31 A -6 B -8" " )") read) but it looks like you are doing something fundamentally backwards if you don't read what is supposed to be a list in as a list in the first place. -- David Kastrup
