List question

I'm using the following snippet of code to populate a DCL list box.

Code:

(setq BlockList (vl-directory-files "s:/cadd/fittings/" "*.dwg"))
(start_list "lstValves")
(mapcar 'add_list BlockList)

It works great, but I'd like to be able to trim the extension from each item
in the list and I'm not quite sure of the best way to go about it.
I tried something but ended up in what seemed to be an endless loop.
I had to give ACAD a three-finger salute (CTRL+ALT+DEL).

Also, I've heard some nasty rumors about mixing LSP and VLISP and how it's a
big "NO NO".
Is this true and if so, what are the "side effects" of mixing the two??


Thanks in advance!

 

Trimming the extensions is easy, as an example:

(mapcar
'vl-filename-base
(vl-directory-files
(getvar "dwgprefix")
"*.dwg") )

As for mixing flavors, I believe the biggest problem
with using hybrid code depends on what version of
AutoCAD and if you are using reactors.

 

Hi Matt

(mapcar 'add_list (mapcar 'vl-filename-base BlockList))

Cheers

 

Oh... Well I'm using 2005 but I don't use any reactors.
So I guess I'm safe??!

Thanks for the quick reply, Jason.

I'd say safer than previous versions and you
