[LISP] ssget - passing a value through a variable

[iBlachu]

Hi,

This notation is correct:

(setq a (ssget '((2 . "b1,b2"))))

But how to convey alternate names?

(setq v "b1,b2")

(setq a (ssget '((2 . v)))) - did not work

Hi

the quote (') is used to avoid evaluation. Use a (list (cons ...)...) expression  instead.

(setq a (ssget (list (cons 2  v))))
