I'm working on a school project that includes LISP code examples.  I've
found many examples in library books, but still need something.

Could someone send me a source code listing of a simple lisp database
program that I could adapt.  The record structures would be similar to
an address book.  I must have Name, address, age (integer) and ten
float numbers (for grades).  I must enable the user to save to file,
retrieve and update the records.  I must also sort them.  

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

I am trying to convert a complex list (list of lists) into a string. The list looks something like this:

                ((2 3) (3 4) (4 5))

I want it to look like this:

                "((2 3) (3 4) (4 5))"

Does anyone know how this can be done with relative ease?

Any help would be appreciated.

(stringp (format nil "~a" '((2 3) (3 4) (4 5))))
=>
T

(format nil "~s" '((2 3) (3 4) (4 5)))
=>
"((2 3) (3 4) (4 5))"

(stringp (format nil "~s" '((2 3) (3 4) (4 5))))
=>
T

see the section of the Lisp printer in your Lisp reference.

Not sure what happens when you get away from simple atoms like 2 and 3.
